A Karachi court on Friday acquitted Anmol, also known as Pinky, in a narcotics case registered in 2018, ruling that the prosecution had failed to produce sufficient evidence against her.
The court accepted her acquittal application and ordered her immediate release, provided she was not required in connection with any other criminal case, according to ARY News.
The case had been registered at the Counter-Terrorism Department (CTD) police station in 2018. Friday’s ruling marked another acquittal for Anmol, who had previously been cleared in four other cases.
In August, an Additional District and Sessions Court (South) in Karachi had acquitted her in three separate narcotics cases registered at Gizri Police Station in 2020, 2021 and 2022.
According to her defence lawyer, Anmol had previously been declared an absconder in all three proceedings.
The defence maintained that the cases against her rested primarily on statements allegedly made by two co-accused, Ali and Fahmida, who had themselves been acquitted in 2024.
Her lawyer argued that, following their acquittal, the prosecution lacked sufficient evidence to establish Anmol’s involvement in the alleged offences.
The court agreed that the prosecution had failed to present adequate evidence and granted her acquittal in those cases.
With Friday’s decision, Anmol has now been acquitted in five cases, including the latest proceedings arising from the 2018 CTD case.
Her release remains subject to confirmation that she is not wanted in any other pending case.
