Karachi: Anmol, also known as Pinky, a woman accused in a drug-related case, alleged police torture during her appearance at a local court in Karachi.
Anmol, who is implicated in a murder case registered at Baghdadi Police Station, was presented before the Judicial Magistrate South at the Karachi Judicial Complex. During the hearing, she raised complaints of police brutality.
The court inquired whether she had previously reported the alleged torture and whether her lawyer had requested a medical examination. Anmol responded, stating that she had been beaten by multiple investigation officers and demanded a 100-day physical remand, if necessary.
The Karachi court reserved its decision on the request for her physical remand.
Prior to the hearing, an investigating officer prevented Anmol from speaking in court, instructing her to communicate with her lawyer outside, noting that she was currently in police remand.
The Judicial Magistrate South instructed journalists to leave the courtroom, allowing only lawyers associated with the case to remain. Once proceedings began, plainclothes officials clashed with journalists, reportedly pushing them and creating a scene of commotion inside the courtroom.
