   Karachi court acquits alleged drug dealer Anmol alias Pinky in multiple cases

   Most outlets reported that a Karachi court acquitted Anmol alias Pinky in two or more drug cases due to insufficient evidence, with several noting this was the fourth such acquittal. The framing was largely consistent, though a few outlets, like Hum News English, specifically highlighted that one of the cases was from a 2018 CTD recovery. Others, such as The Express Tribune and ProPakistani, described her as a "cocaine queen" or "drug queen," while others used terms like "drug baroness" or "alleged drug dealer." The emphasis on the number of cases and the reason for acquittal — lack of evidence — was common across most reports.
