A Karachi court ordered that Anmol, known as "Pinky," be held on judicial remand on May 22, 2026 [3], following her arrest for narcotics trafficking.
The case has drawn national attention due to the alleged scale of the drug network and a viral video that linked the operation to a former head of government.
Law enforcement agencies describe Anmol as a high-profile narcotics operator. A senior police official said the suspect was orchestrating drug shipments between Karachi and Lahore [1]. While some reports focus on the network's activity within upscale areas of Karachi, other accounts indicate the operation spanned the distance between the two major cities [1], [2].
Anmol was first arrested on May 3, 2026 [1]. The subsequent legal proceedings led to the court's decision to keep her in custody. A spokesperson for the Karachi court said the court orders the accused to be held on judicial remand in multiple criminal cases [2].
The investigation took a political turn after a viral video surfaced. The footage allegedly mentioned former Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf in connection with the drug network. On May 20, 2026, Ashraf responded to the allegations [2].
"I am shocked that my name has been mentioned in this video," Ashraf said [2].
The arrest and the resulting political fallout highlight the intersection of organized crime and political influence in the region. Police continue to investigate the full extent of the network's reach and the validity of the claims made in the viral media.
“"I am shocked that my name has been mentioned in this video."”
The judicial remand of Anmol 'Pinky' signifies a transition from the initial police investigation to a formal legal process. The mention of a former prime minister in a viral video elevates the case from a standard narcotics bust to a potential political scandal, suggesting that the investigation may uncover broader ties between criminal networks and high-level political figures in Pakistan.
