Whether one calls it the police's negligence or a deliberate attempt to save Anmol, alias Pinky, a notorious female drug dealer who had been arrested in Karachi on Tuesday, the wrong home address of the drug dealer was given in the FIR registered against her, reported the 24NewsHD TV channel on Wednesday.
It was written in the FIR that Pinky was arrested from a flat in Garden area of the city.
The fact of the matter is that a family has been living in that flat on rent for the last eight years, and it does not know the drug dealer.
The family, which is in great mental stress, has asked the police to tell them why they mentioned their address in the FIR.
On the other hand, after learning about Pinki’s arrest, the flat owner has asked the family to vacate the flat.
In a sharp contrast to the treatment given to other criminals, the treatment given to Pinki was exactly the opposite, as she was not handcuffed when she was produced in court and kept loitering on the court premises without any fear with a policeman walking behind her.
She had a bottle of mineral water in her hands, was wearing coloured glasses, and her face was covered with a mask.
Additional IG Karachi took notice of the protocol given to the drug dealer and suspended SHO Garden Hanif Sial, SIO Zafar Iqbal, and IO Saeed Ahmad and appointed SSP South as an inquiry officer instead and ordered him to submit a report within three days.
The drug dealer, from whose possession more than one kilo of cocaine, 15 capsules and weapons were recovered, was most wanted by the police in 10 cases and was an absconder in several of them.
Police requested the court to grant 13-day physical remand of the woman.
The court, however, rejected the police’s request and sent her to jail for 14 days.
Meanwhile, Pinky has made startling revelations to the police during an interrogation.
She has told the police that she started supplying drugs to people, mostly boys and girls, aged between 16 and 20 years, 13 years ago.
The narcotics dealer disclosed that she had fled to Lahore, where she secretly kept running a laboratory.
She also revealed that she married a police officer in Lahore.
Pinki told the police that people associated with the showbiz industry were among her customers.
On Tuesday, police and an intelligence agency, in a joint operation, arrested a notorious female drug dealer in Karachi.
According to the police, Anmol, alias Pinky, was running a vast and organised network of supplying drugs, including cocaine, to people, including students and influentials, in different areas of the city.
The police stated that Pinky was most wanted and was an absconder in dozens of cases.
“One pistol along with rounds, cocaine worth millions of rupees, chemicals and other drugs were recovered from her possession,” the Force said, adding that in order to protect her gang from being busted, Pinky would use female riders.
