A 31-year-old woman identified as Anmol Pinky, an aspiring model turned alleged drug kingpin, has been accused by investigators of running a wide narcotics network between Lahore and Karachi that supplied cocaine to upscale neighbourhoods across Pakistan. Law enforcement sources say Pinky had been on their radar for years before her recent arrest.
Investigators allege Pinky, together with her brothers and close associates, built a sophisticated operation that depended on WhatsApp, other social media platforms and SIM cards registered in fake or borrowed names to evade detection. Officials say she continued to operate through benami bank accounts and unregistered communication channels even after authorities blocked her national identity card (CNIC).
Police records reviewed by reporters indicate Pinky had been named in multiple criminal cases prior to the latest detention, including two registered by the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF). In several matterss her brothers and another woman were listed as co-accused. Authorities say one brother has been booked in multiple narcotics cases in Karachi; in some earlier proceedings co-accused were acquitted while Pinky was declared an absconder.
Audio clips circulating on social media that investigators say feature Pinky reportedly show her taunting law enforcement and asserting that her network would endure beyond her arrest or death. Officials also allege she targeted youth, particularly people aged 16–20, and that the syndicate catered to both influential clients and students.
According to police, Pinky maintained residences in Lahore’s Khayaban-i-Zafar Society and in Karachi’s Gulshan-i-Iqbal and the Baloch Para area near Jahangir Road. Neighbours and investigators describe her family background as modest: her father, Murad Bakhsh, a taxi driver from the Kolachi Baloch community, and her mother, originally from Punjab. The reporting says Pinky dropped out in eighth grade and moved to Lahore seeking a modelling and acting career.
Investigators maintain she met her first husband, a lawyer, through entertainment-industry contacts, and that he and her brothers introduced her to narcotics trafficking. She is accused of initially ferrying cocaine between Lahore and Karachi before setting up an independent distribution network after separating from that husband; she later married a retired police official, police allege.
Officials claim Pinky specialised in cocaine distribution and developed a recognisable “brand” within the trade, allegedly learning to dilute the drug to expand supply while maintaining apparent quality. Police estimate the network generated millions of rupees daily and say some proceeds may have been used to obtain protection from corrupt officials.
In 2022, Pinky’s father reportedly published notices in Urdu newspapers formally severing ties with her, accusing her of prolonged absence and disobedience. Recently, police also booked her in a murder case after an unidentified man described as a drug addict was found dead near a school in Karachi’s Baghdadi area on May 9, 2026; investigators say narcotics recovered from the body bore a label they link to Pinky’s network and allege the supplied drugs caused the death.
Pinky is currently on a three-day police remand while investigators continue questioning her about the alleged narcotics network and related criminal cases. All allegations remain subject to legal proceedings.
