Officials investigating the alleged drug network linked to suspect Anmol, alias Pinky, are now searching for her brother Shaukat, against whom a drug trafficking case had previously been registered at the Boat Basin police station.
Meanwhile, the South Zone police conducted an operation in Gulistan-e-Jauhar and detained a key individual believed to be associated with Pinky’s network. Sources said the suspect Zeeshan allegedly managed Pinky’s financial accounts.
Officials said people reportedly bought drugs through online payment apps, with a mobile franchise reportedly being used for receiving payments and transferring funds. Details of the suspect’s bank accounts and online payment apps have been obtained, while a joint investigation team continues interrogating those in custody, they added.
During her interrogation, Pinky allegedly disclosed further details about the sophisticated structure of her drug network. Officials claimed the operation had been running in an organised and highly cautious manner to avoid detection.
They said network operatives allegedly used phones without SIM cards and maintained communication only through social networking platforms. Riders responsible for deliveries reportedly had direct contact only with Pinky, while buyers and riders remained unknown to each other, they added.
They also said the buyers allegedly transferred money before receiving drugs. In many cases, riders would reportedly place narcotics at the designated locations, then send photographs and location details to Pinky, who would then forward them to the buyers.
Officials revealed that any operative arrested by police was allegedly immediately cut off from the network and never re-inducted. They pointed out that this practice, combined with strict operational secrecy, reportedly made it difficult for law enforcement agencies to trace other members of the network.
