• She is accused of selling narcotics worth millions of rupees daily, yet she doesn’t have a bank account
• Police say she operates benami accounts and SIMs illegally issued under others’ names
KARACHI: Despite being on the law enforcement agencies’ radar for years, 31-year-old aspiring model-turned-drug ‘queenpin’ Anmol Pinky operated her nationwide network from Lahore and Karachi with impunity for years. She, along with her brothers and other accomplices, had built a network that used WhatsApp and social media to supply narcotics, particularly cocaine, to their clients in upscale areas.
Since she was already booked in multiple criminal cases prior to her recent arrest by a team of Karachi police and a civilian intelligence agency, the police had her Computerised National Identity Card (CNIC) blocked. But this did not stop her from doing business as she used ‘benami’ accounts and SIMs issued under someone else’s names to stay in touch with her network and customers.
