Karachi court acquits Anmol alias Pinky in three d…

ByJustpaste.in

KARACHI: An Additional District and Sessions Court in Karachi has acquitted Anmol alias Pinky in three drug cases registered at Gizri Police Station.

The court announced the decision on Thursday after hearing arguments from the defence.

Pinky was arrested by Karachi police in May during a joint operation with a civil agency at an apartment in the Garden area.

Police had accused her of operating an organised narcotics supply network in Karachi. Investigators alleged that the network was involved in processing and distributing cocaine and had links with other major cities, including Lahore and Islamabad.

According to police, the three cases against Pinky were registered at Gizri Police Station in 2020, 2021 and 2022. She had remained a fugitive in the cases before her arrest.

During Thursday’s hearing, Pinky’s defence counsel argued that two other accused persons in the cases had already been acquitted.

The lawyer told the court that co-accused Ali and Fehmida were acquitted in 2024. He argued that Pinky had subsequently been implicated on the basis of statements attributed to the acquitted co-accused.

The defence maintained that after the acquittal of the two co-accused, there was insufficient legal basis to convict Pinky in the cases.

The court accepted the defence arguments and acquitted her in all three cases.

Before her acquittal, investigators had made several allegations about Pinky’s alleged role in the narcotics trade.

Police claimed she supplied drugs to customers in affluent areas of Karachi, including DHA and Clifton. Investigators also alleged that she personally prepared cocaine and used female riders and online platforms to facilitate deliveries.

Police further claimed that her alleged network extended beyond Karachi to cities including Lahore and Islamabad.

During interrogation, investigators attributed statements to Pinky regarding the quality and sale of cocaine. Police alleged that two categories of cocaine were being sold through the network at different prices.

Pinky, however, made separate allegations during interrogation. She claimed she was being pressured to name politicians and members of the entertainment industry.

She also alleged that she had been subjected to physical mistreatment during questioning and accused an investigation officer of threatening her.

    Kelly Clarkson reveals why she is happy staying single

    ByJustpaste.in

    Kelly Clarkson has shared a candid update about her personal life, revealing that she is happy being single and has no plans to rush into a new relationship. During her residency show at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on Friday, July 24, the Grammy-winning singer spoke honestly with the audience about life after heartbreak, explaining why she appreciates the peace that comes with being on her own. Addressing questions she often receives about her relationship status, Clarkson said many people assume she should be dating again. However, she explained that watching the challenges some couples face has only reinforced her decision to enjoy single life. “People are like, ‘Why are you single?’” Clarkson told the crowd, adding that there are plenty of examples that make being single seem like the better option. She joked that she is grateful she can return home without dealing with unnecessary relationship drama. The singer also reflected on the realities of maintaining a long-term romance. According to Clarkson, one of the biggest challenges for couples is preventing a relationship from becoming repetitive over time. She explained that keeping the excitement alive requires continuous effort, saying partners need to keep dating each other and find ways to preserve the sense of magic that often exists at the beginning of a relationship. Without that effort, she suggested, relationships can become routine and lose their spark. Clarkson’s remarks offered fans a rare glimpse into her personal life, as she has largely kept her romantic life private in recent years. The 44-year-old singer was previously married to talent manager Brandon Blackstock. The pair began dating in 2012 and married the following year in an intimate ceremony at Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tennessee. During their marriage, they welcomed two children together—a daughter born in 2014 and a son born in 2016. After nearly seven years of marriage, Clarkson filed for divorce in June 2020, citing irreconcilable differences. The divorce became one of the most closely followed celebrity separations, involving legal disputes over finances and custody before it was finalized. In August 2025, Blackstock died following a battle with cancer, marking another emotional chapter in Clarkson’s life. Since then, the singer has remained focused on her family, music career and television work while keeping her personal relationships out of the spotlight. Clarkson first rose to fame after winning the inaugural season of

    Mariyam Nafees calls for priority queues for vulnerable people

    ByJustpaste.in

    Pakistani actor and host Mariyam Nafees has called for the introduction of separate priority queues in Pakistan for people who may find it difficult to stand in regular lines for long periods. The actor raised the issue during a special Independence Day episode of Good Morning Pakistan, where she appeared alongside Sarwat Gillani, Amar Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Mohsin Abbas and Omair Rana. During the programme, Mariyam highlighted the difficulties faced by elderly people, pregnant women, young children and individuals with disabilities or health problems when they have to wait in long queues. She said priority lines are commonly available in many countries to facilitate people who need special consideration. In her view, young and physically fit individuals can generally wait longer, while vulnerable people may not be able to do so comfortably. Mariyam said Pakistan should also consider introducing dedicated queues at public offices and other places where people regularly have to wait for services. She stressed that simply allowing vulnerable people to move ahead is not always effective because some members of the public may ignore their needs. According to her, a formal priority system could make the process more organised and ensure that deserving people receive timely assistance. The actor’s comments focused on the broader issue of public behaviour and social responsibility. She suggested that a structured system could reduce disputes and make public spaces more accessible for those who need additional consideration. During the discussion, Saif Ali Khan also supported the broader point. He noted that the problem is not limited to queue arrangements. He pointed out that people sometimes give preference to friends, relatives or acquaintances at offices and other places. He argued that such preferential treatment should also be discouraged. The discussion drew attention to the importance of fairness in public spaces and equal access to services. Mariyam’s remarks have also sparked conversation about whether Pakistan should introduce more formal systems to assist elderly citizens, pregnant women, children and people with disabilities.

He said he chose to overlook the matter to prevent divisions within the party. Speaking to the media outside the Supreme Court in Islamabad, Raja said Mashal Yousafzai was not acting alone and had a group supporting her. He said the facts would eventually come before everyone. He added that he would not further fuel an issue that had already been given unnecessary attention in the past. Raja also said he did not know who had made Mashal Yousafzai a senator. Speaking to journalists at the Adiala Jail factory checkpoint in Rawalpindi, Raja said that allegations should be backed by evidence.

He described some of the statements made against him as completely baseless. Raja said such allegations would have to be answered. He added that the party would take action over the matter. Comments on political developments Speaking about the political situation, Raja said September 27 was not a distant date. He said political activity was continuing on a daily basis.

    Pakistan’s automobile sector started fiscal year 2026-27 on a strong note, with overall vehicle sales rising nearly 80% year-on-year in July 2026, according to data from the Pakistan Automotive Manufacturers Association (PAMA). Sales of cars, light commercial vehicles, vans, jeeps and electric vehicles reached 19,818 units during the month, compared with 11,034 units in July 2025. However, sales fell 13% month-on-month from the 22,741 units recorded in June. Analysts attributed the annual increase to stronger passenger-car demand, new vehicle launches, the entry of new manufacturers and growing auto financing. Leena Abid of Arif Habib Limited said passenger-car sales led the overall growth, jumping 141% year-on-year. She noted that June had benefited from pre-budget purchases, while uncertainty over the new Auto Policy affected bookings in July. Pak Suzuki recorded the highest sales at 10,120 units, representing a 175% year-on-year increase, although its sales declined 12% from June. Indus Motor Company sold 5,089 units, up 53% annually and 45% from the previous month. Honda Atlas Cars reported 2,640 units, marking a 76% annual increase but an 11% monthly decline. Sazgar Engineering sold 663 passenger vehicles. The two-wheeler market also performed strongly, with industry sales increasing 39% year-on-year to around 169,713 units, although volumes slipped slightly from June. Atlas Honda continued to dominate the segment. Commercial vehicles also recorded substantial annual growth. Truck sales surged 169% year-on-year, while bus sales increased 14%. Ghandhara Automobiles sold 111 trucks, up 247% annually and 31% month-on-month. Ghandhara Industries reported 424 units, a 212% year-on-year increase. Meanwhile, tractor sales rose 4% year-on-year to 1,242 units but plunged 59% from June. Al-Ghazi Tractors sold 414 units, up 29% annually, while Millat Tractors recorded 828 units, down 5% year-on-year.
