Court Reserves Verdict on Bail for Facilitators in Karachi 'Pinky' Cocaine Probe
The judge delayed a decision after police filed extensive documentary, call and financial records meant to link two alleged facilitators to the suspected trafficking network.
Overview
- The District and Sessions Court (South) reserved its decision on bail for Zeeshan-ur-Rehman and Sohail-ur-Rehman, who police say helped accused Anmol alias Pinky run a cocaine distribution network.
- Investigators presented more than 500 pages of documents plus call recordings and voice notes in court to support allegations against the two men.
- Police also submitted detailed bank account and digital-wallet transaction records that they say show narcotics proceeds routed through multiple accounts held in the facilitators’ names.
- Authorities say the network used secretive methods to hide operations, including SIM-less phones and social-media communication to protect client and courier identities.
- The case, registered at Garden police station and now before a judicial magistrate, will turn on the admissibility and strength of the documentary and financial evidence and the court’s forthcoming bail ruling.
