Overview
- Police submitted a preliminary challan and named multiple accused in the case on Monday, with key suspects including Anmol alias Pinky, Zeeshan‑ur‑Rehman, Sohail‑ur‑Rehman and Muhammad Sameer now in custody while others remain at large.
- A District and Sessions judge on Monday rejected bail for alleged facilitators after prosecutors cited bank records and digital evidence linking them to the network.
- Forensic teams from the NCCIA have delivered more than 100GB of data from Pinky’s phone to the investigating officer, including roughly 75,000 images, bank‑transfer screenshots, about 13,000 contacts and extensive call logs.
- Investigators allege the group organised sales over WhatsApp, used riders for deliveries and routed payments through multiple third‑party accounts after some of Pinky’s accounts were frozen, and agencies including the ANF, FIA and NCCIA are working to trace transactions and travel records.
- The IO has filed an interim charge sheet and asked the court for more time to complete pending forensic, banking and travel inquiries, with the next hearings scheduled for later this week and the broader probe expected to identify additional suspects and financial flows.
