Investigators recovered more than 100GB of data from the cellphone of alleged drug dealer Anmol, alias Pinky. Officials obtained the forensic report nearly a month after her arrest in Karachi. The findings reportedly uncovered extensive digital evidence linked to the ongoing narcotics investigation.
According to sources, investigators recovered approximately 75,000 photographs and images from the suspect’s mobile phone. They also found hundreds of screenshots showing online transactions and bank deposit slips.
Digital Evidence Expands Investigation
The forensic analysis also revealed contact details for more than 13,000 individuals. Investigators further discovered that Pinky operated two WhatsApp accounts on the same device. Authorities are now examining the recovered data to identify possible links to additional suspects.
Meanwhile, investigators continue analysing financial records and communication history. Officials believe the digital evidence could strengthen the ongoing probe into the alleged drug network.
Court Rejects Bail of Co-Suspects
On Monday, a Karachi sessions court rejected the bail applications of co-suspects Zeeshan and Sohail. The two men allegedly assisted Pinky in a drug-related case registered at Garden Police Station.
The defence argued that investigators added the suspects’ names after registering the original FIR. However, the prosecution said forensic evidence and mobile phone analysis established their alleged involvement. Prosecutors also claimed investigators found suspicious financial transactions in both suspects’ bank accounts.
According to investigators, both men allegedly transferred funds to Pinky and other suspected accomplices. The court observed that available digital evidence and banking records established a prima facie connection. It also noted that aiding narcotics manufacturing remains a serious offence under the Sindh Control of Narcotic Substances Act.
The court rejected both bail applications after reviewing the interim challan. During questioning, Pinky allegedly named several recipients of drugs, including people linked to the entertainment industry. However, she also claimed investigators pressured her to identify additional individuals, which she refused to do.
