Karachi police seek FIA help in Pinky drugs case over money laundering links

The move comes after preliminary investigations suggested that associates of the accused were involved in transferring and receiving funds through multiple bank accounts

KARACHI: (UrduPoint/UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News-May 22nd, 2026 Karachi Police have sought assistance from the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to investigate alleged money laundering and cybercrime links in a narcotics case involving a suspect identified as Anmol, alias “Pinky.”

An official correspondence sent by DIG South Karachi Asad Raza to the FIA revealed that the investigators have requested technical support to probe complex financial transactions and digital evidence linked to the case.

The move comes after preliminary investigations suggested that associates of the accused were involved in transferring and receiving funds through multiple bank accounts.

The letter stated that the suspects are allegedly involved in narcotics trafficking as well as suspicious financial dealings.

Authorities believe that the case extends beyond conventional drug-related offences and includes elements of cyber-enabled financial crime, requiring specialised expertise for further investigation.

The DIG South Karachi noted in his request that FIA officers be deputed to assist in examining banking transactions and digital financial records.

The correspondence emphasized that the involvement of multiple bank accounts and online transactions necessitates a coordinated investigation between Karachi Police and the FIA.

According to police officials, the accused, Anmol alias Pinky, is already facing multiple criminal cases registered at Garden and Baghdadi police stations in Karachi.

These cases include allegations related to narcotics possession, illegal weapons, and homicide, which are currently under investigation.

Authorities said that expanding the investigation into financial and cyber dimensions is crucial to uncover the full network behind the alleged criminal activities.

They added that modern investigative tools and inter-agency cooperation are essential to effectively trace money trails and identify all individuals involved.

The case is being seen as part of a broader trend where narcotics-related investigations increasingly overlap with cybercrime and financial fraud, prompting law enforcement agencies to adopt more integrated investigative approaches.

Police officials reaffirmed their commitment to pursuing the case on merit and ensuring that all suspects involved in illegal activities are brought to justice through a transparent and evidence-based investigation process.
