Karachi court acquits alleged drug baroness Anmol alias Pinky in two more cases

A district and sessions court in Karachi has acquitted alleged drug queenpin Anmol alias Pinky in two narcotics cases. The acquittal came after Anmol filed applications under Section 265-K of the Code of Criminal Procedure, citing a lack of evidence in both cases. The court ordered her release from jail if she was not required in any other case.
