DIG South Asad Raza said the court had turned down the request for physical remand of the accused on Monday. “Today the physical remand of the accused was again requested before the court,” he said, confirming the three-day custody had been approved in a total of 4 cases registered in 3 police stations including Baghdadi, Garden and Darakhshah.
The DIG added that police had also collected details of past cases registered against Anmol alias Pinki.
It should be noted that Anmol, described by officials as a major supplier of cocaine and other drugs, was reportedly arrested from the Garden area in Karachi during a joint operation by police and a civil sensitive agency. Officials said one pistol, cocaine worth crores of rupees, chemicals and other narcotic substances were recovered from the possession of the accused.

The case drew attention after the woman appeared in court without handcuffs following her arrest. The accused was seen walking “fearlessly in the corridors of the court,” according to witnesses.
Following the incident, SHO Garden Hanif Syal and SIU Inspector Zafar Iqbal were suspended for allegedly giving “protocol” to the arrested accused. The inquiry into the matter has been handed over to SSP South, police said.
Sindh Home Minister Zia-ul-Hassan Lanjar had earlier termed the case a “test case” and announced a JIT to probe police lapses. The minister had also questioned the initial refusal of remand in what he called a high-profile case.
Investigation into the suspect’s network, including alleged links to a former police inspector in Lahore, is ongoing.
