In a fresh development in the alleged cocaine dealer Anmol alias Pinky case, sources claimed on Tuesday that an online shopping platform had allegedly been used to deliver narcotics in upscale areas of Karachi.
According to sources, the name of a well-known online shopping brand was reportedly misused by the network to facilitate drug deliveries, while branded shopping bags were allegedly used to disguise narcotics consignments.
Sources further claimed that a customer who had ordered drugs secretly recorded a video a few months ago, which later surfaced during the investigation. The footage allegedly showed delivery riders transporting parcels without knowledge of their contents.
According to the claims, the riders were unaware that the parcels contained narcotics. In the video, a rider can reportedly be seen handing over a parcel to a customer and receiving Rs500 in delivery charges. The footage also allegedly showed a packet of “ice” — crystal methamphetamine — being recovered from inside the parcel.
Meanwhile, a local court on Tuesday permitted the production of accused Anmol alias Pinky at the Judicial Complex in connection with multiple cases registered against her.
The order was issued during proceedings relating to her appearance before the City Court. The court directed that the accused be presented before the judicial magistrate at the Judicial Complex.
Earlier, investigating officers had approached the District and Sessions Judge South seeking permission to produce the accused at the jail complex instead of the City Court, citing security concerns.
Police informed the court that the accused was required for obtaining physical remand and argued that her appearance at the City Court could pose serious security risks.
The prosecution also requested that the accused be produced at the jail complex in view of the prevailing security situation.
