KARACHI: A police constable previously dismissed over allegations of taking bribes from Anmol alias Pinky is likely to be reinstated after he played a 'key role' in the arrest of the suspect, sources told Geo News.
The constable, who was tasked by senior officers to trace Pinky, reportedly played a key role in locating Pinky within a week after being assigned the task by senior officers, the sources privy to the development said.
Pinky was arrested from her apartment in Karachi's Garden area last week on the charges of "running" a drug network, according to the police. However, the suspect denied the claim, alleging that she was detained in Lahore 15 days before being transferred to Karachi.
The authorities said that weapons, cocaine, and other drugs worth around Rs1.5 million were recovered from her possession, adding that she was allegedly running a drug supply network in the port city. Besides narcotics, the suspect is also facing murder charges and is currently in police custody on physical remand.
The sources added that the arrest was carried out based on information provided by the same personnel. The sources further claimed that the constable had for a long time been an alleged facilitator for Pinky and was accused of receiving large sums of money.
However, following internal investigations and confidential reports, strict action had earlier been taken against him, and he was dismissed from service.
Despite the past allegations, officials are now considering his reinstatement, the sources added.
A day earlier, Sindh Inspector General of Police (IGP) Javed Alam Odho said that several prominent names could emerge during investigations into the Pinky case.
The Sindh IGP said that a task force was being constituted, asking the public to come forward and testify in court.
