KARACHI: Anmol alias Pinky has filed an application seeking acquittal in a narcotics case registered against her at the Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) police station.
The application was filed under Section 265-K of the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC), with the accused maintaining that there is insufficient evidence against her.
The sessions court has issued notices to the Deputy Public Prosecutor on the acquittal plea and sought a response from the state prosecutor at the next hearing.
Defence counsel Mir Hidayatullah argued that no solid evidence was available against the accused and requested the court to acquit her in the case. He further submitted that Anmol had already been acquitted in three cases registered against her in the Gizri area.
Meanwhile, two alleged facilitators of the accused in the case have reportedly absconded after securing bail.

In August, a Karachi court acquitted alleged drug dealer Anmol alias Pinky in three drug-related cases registered at Gizri Police Station.
The Additional District and Sessions Court (South) approved the suspect’s acquittal pleas and acquitted her in all three cases.
According to the defence counsel, the cases were registered against Anmol in 2020, 2021 and 2022. She had been declared a fugitive in all three cases.
The lawyer told the court that two co-accused, Ali and Fahmida, had already been acquitted in 2024.
According to the defence, Anmol was nominated in the cases on the basis of statements allegedly recorded by the co-accused. Since the co-accused had already been acquitted, the prosecution could not secure a conviction against Anmol, the lawyer argued.
The prosecution failed to present sufficient evidence against the accused, the court observed before acquitting her.
