Anmol Pinky claims cocaine sold in ‘chips packets’ in Karachi
Police in Karachi have arrested Anmol alias Pinky, but investigations suggest that the alleged drug trafficking network linked to her continues to operate even after her detention.
Anmol Pinky was arrested earlier this month from her apartment in the Garden area during a joint operation by police and a civilian intelligence agency. The arrest was made in connection with cases involving narcotics possession and an unlicensed weapon.
During the investigation, authorities found that drug networks have changed their smuggling methods to avoid detection. Reports suggest that cocaine is now being hidden inside snack items, including chips packets and papad packaging.
Officials also claimed that the drugs are being delivered directly to homes, bungalows, and restaurants while concealed inside such food packets, making detection more difficult.
Sources further allege that members of the so-called “Pinky network” have introduced new digital payment methods, including online account numbers and one-time or “OneZip” accounts for transactions.

In one reported conversation, a supplier allegedly told a customer, “My rider will deliver several packets of chips.”
The supplier further allegedly explained, “Inside these chips packets, there will also be a separate packet containing cocaine.”
Investigators say suppliers are also giving customers detailed instructions about delivery methods and concealment techniques to avoid law enforcement detection.
Authorities said the investigation is ongoing, and efforts are being made to trace the full extent of the network and its operational structure. Officials believe such evolving tactics show how drug networks are increasingly using unconventional methods to bypass surveillance and law enforcement.
