KARACHI: A judicial magistrate in Karachi has disposed of an application filed by Anmol, also known as “Pinky,” who is facing trial in a drug smuggling case, after prison authorities clarified the facilities being provided to her in jail.
The hearing was held before the Judicial Magistrate (South), where the accused had challenged the alleged lack of access to basic facilities during her detention.
During the proceedings, the Superintendent of the Karachi Women’s Jail appeared before the court to respond to the allegations raised in the application.
The court sought an explanation from the jail administration regarding claims that the accused had not been provided with necessary medicines and appropriate clothing while in custody.
In response, the Women’s Jail Superintendent informed the court that there was no restriction preventing the accused from wearing ordinary clothes.
“The accused may have normal clothes sent to her and wear them in jail. We have no objection,” the superintendent told the court.
Addressing concerns about medical treatment, the jail official stated that Anmol is receiving ongoing medical care through Civil Hospital Karachi. She further explained that all medicines prescribed by doctors at the hospital are being provided to the accused in accordance with medical recommendations.
According to the superintendent, the prison administration is complying with the treatment plan advised by Civil Hospital physicians and ensuring that the inmate receives the prescribed medication.
After hearing the explanation from the jail authorities, the court concluded that the issues raised in the application had been adequately addressed.
The Judicial Magistrate subsequently disposed of the application seeking jail facilities for the accused.
Anmol, popularly known as “Pinky,” is currently facing legal proceedings in connection with a drug smuggling case. Earlier, the court had fixed a date for the framing of charges against her, while investigators have also examined her financial records, including details related to a bank account that had reportedly been closed.
The criminal case against the accused remains pending before the relevant court, where further proceedings will continue in accordance with the law.
