Court’s nod sought to record Pinky’s voice samples

Authorities are seeking court approval to record the voice samples of alleged drug baroness Anmol Pinky and three associates currently held in prison. The investigating officer in a narcotics case filed an application with a judicial magistrate in Karachi, requesting permission to obtain these samples for voice-matching analysis. The need for the recordings stems from evidence found on seized mobile phones belonging to the suspects. Preliminary analysis of these phones revealed incriminating audio recordings and voice messages exchanged between the suspects and external parties. The officer stated that obtaining standard voice samples is essential to identify the speakers in these communications. Pinky was arrested last month in connection with drug possession and an unlicensed weapon case. Her alleged accomplices, Zeeshan-ur-Rehman, Sohail-ur-Rehman, and Muhammad Sameer, were also apprehended and are currently on judicial remand. The application requests jail authorities to facilitate the recording of these samples for forensic examination by the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL).
