Pinky case: Police constable dismissed over bribery allegations may be reinstated

Sources say the constable dismissed for allegedly taking bribery is likely to be reinstated for playing key role in arrest of Anmol alias Pinky

KARACHI: (UrduPoint/UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News-May 20^th, 2026) A police constable previously dismissed over bribery allegations is likely to be reinstated after reportedly playing a key role in the arrest of Anmol alias Pinky, sources said on Wednesday.

The sources said that the constable had earlier been removed from service following allegations of corruption. He was later assigned by senior officers to assist in tracking down the suspect and is said to have helped locate her within a short period.

Police officials confirmed that Anmol alias Pinky was arrested from her apartment in Karachi’s Garden area last week in connection with allegations of running a drug network.

Authorities said narcotics, weapons and other items worth around Rs1.5 million were recovered during the operation.

The suspect has denied the allegations, claiming she was detained in Lahore about 15 days earlier and later shifted to Karachi.

Investigators allege that she was involved in a drug supply network in the city and is also facing murder charges. She remains in custody on physical remand.

Sources further said the same constable had previously been accused of facilitating the suspect and receiving money, which led to his dismissal after internal inquiries. Despite this, officials are now considering his reinstatement in view of his role in the recent arrest.
