One member of the cartelwas recently arrested by the Anti-Narcotics Force (ANF),\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He said further investigation was under way to obtain information from the suspects about their drug network and accomplices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a lighter vein, DIG Dr Ali said the family-based cartel could be dubbed \u201cPinky Two\u201d, as it had also maintained the same level of secrecy as Anmol, alias Pinky, who is currently facing trial in Karachi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anmol was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/1999686\"><u>arrested<\/u><\/a> in May in connection with two cases registered at the Garden police station pertaining to the possession of drugs and an unlicensed weapon. She had already been booked in multiple other criminal cases prior to her arrest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The incident gained attention when a video of her being escorted to court without handcuffs went viral on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since her arrest, Anmol has been presented in court amid heavy police presence. During her court appearances, she has also alleged that she has been facing pressure from the police \u201cto <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/2001249\/anmol-alias-pinky-alleges-pressure-to-take-names-as-court-extends-physical-remand-in-murder-case\"><u>take names<\/u><\/a>\u201d of politicians and other influential persons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier in the month, police also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dawn.com\/news\/2026771\">claimed<\/a> to have recovered a huge quantity of ice and arrested eight suspects in an intelligence-based raid on a warehouse in Mehran Town in Korangi.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KARACHI(National Times)- Police on Friday claimed to have unearthed an international narcotics network involved in the supply of ice \u2014 methamphetamine, also known as crystal meth \u2014 with the arrest of two of its members, including a woman.
