Court indicts ‘Pinky’ for manslaughter

Anmol Pinky, a figure known as ‘Pinky,’ faces charges of manslaughter in a Karachi court. The indictment stems from the death of a man who allegedly died from an overdose.

The district and sessions court in Karachi formally charged Pinky on Tuesday. She appeared via video link and entered a plea of not guilty, indicating she will contest the allegations. The court has scheduled the next hearing for September 3, summoning prosecution witnesses to provide their testimony.

Initially, the case was filed as a murder charge at the Baghdadi police station. However, the investigation officer later submitted a final challan to the judicial magistrate, dropping the murder charges. This decision was based on the medical examination report of the deceased, leading to the inclusion of Section 322 of the Pakistan Penal Code, which pertains to manslaughter. Pinky was named in the case following a statement from the complainant.
