Intense courtroom scenes as accused Anmol alias Pinky and co-accused were produced before Malir and Central District courts.
The hearings involved drug recovery allegations, remand requests, and dramatic statements from both sides. Courts have now reserved key decisions on physical remand applications.
A Special Magistrate in Malir Court ordered the accused to be sent to jail in a drug recovery case. The court also rejected the police’s request in a case registered at Sachal Police Station.
During proceedings, drugs were reportedly recovered from a bucket and from the accused’s house on identification provided during investigation.
The court later reserved its decision on the physical remand request.
On court orders, co-accused Zeeshan and Sohail were also produced. The court inquired about their alleged “Easy Money” transactions and questioned the scale of financial activity.
The Investigating Officer (IO) stated that transactions worth crores had been traced.
Accused claims in court
Accused Anmol alias Pinky claimed in court that she was picked up from Lahore and that false cases were being made against her.
She also insisted, “These are all false cases,” during her appearance before the court.
A co-accused, Sohail, stated that they were picked up from Lyari, blindfolded, and did not know which police station they were taken to.
When journalists asked about arrest details, conflicting responses emerged. One accused said Lyari, while another claimed Lahore.
Police, meanwhile, restricted the accused from speaking to journalists during the proceedings.
Co-accused told the court they were brothers and ran an Easy Load shop. One also stated they were neighbors of the accused.
It was further revealed in court statements that Anmol alias Pinky’s brother had previously worked as their employee.
The court also heard that co-accused Zeeshan and Sohail had conducted transactions worth crores, according to investigators.
Investigation Claims
Investigating officers presented strong claims before the court, including:
- Drug recovery from the accused’s residence
- Financial transactions reportedly worth Rs 3 crore
- Allegations of a broader drug network
- Claims that one suspect’s family background is linked to drug cases
- Statement that one co-accused is a fugitive under Section 512 (Qamar)
The IO also requested physical remand to continue further investigation.
The prosecution announced it would challenge the Judicial Magistrate Malir’s decision and file a criminal revision, according to Acting Prosecutor General Sindh Muntazhar Mehdi.
Defense lawyers argued that the accused had already faced remand in other cases and highlighted earlier judicial actions, including bail and review petitions.
One lawyer also argued that absconding accused under Section 512 are not typically granted physical remand after arrest.
The court questioned multiple aspects of remand history and ongoing proceedings across cases.
Court observations
During proceedings, the court directed police and officers on handling custody matters and emphasized procedural limits.
The accused reportedly expressed distress, saying her heart was “beating fast” and requesting that her face not be covered.
In a tense exchange, slogans were also raised in the courtroom, and police struggled to control the situation.
The court also observed that the accused appeared linked to a “large network,” according to statements presented during hearings.
At the Central District Court, Anmol alias Pinky was produced in additional cases. The court questioned remand status, including whether prior remand had already been granted in earlier cases.
The Investigating Officer again requested physical remand, citing ongoing drug-related investigations.
The court noted that previous accused in a related case had been acquitted, while proceedings continued in others.
