An organized network of drug supply has been revealed in educational institutions of Karachi wherein women drug dealers are also key members of the underground network. As per investigation, drug orders are received from social media groups while drugs are delivered like pizza and burgers being delivered via delivery services. All types of drugs were used earlier only in remote areas and slums but with time, smugglers grew their network in the educational institutions of the port city — Karachi. As per estimates, cocaine use and ice addiction have massively increased among the students of Karachi. How much does it cost? Cocaine — the silent killer — costs Rs15,000 to Rs17,000 per gram while ice started fetching Rs2500 to Rs3500 per gram. A token of Rs5000 for hashish and Rs300 rupees for heroin is being given. According to police, organized drug smuggling networks are run by ‘Dr. Baloch’ and ‘Pinky group’ in educational institutions of Karachi.

Dr. Baloch Group is being operational from Nushki Balochistan while Pinky Group is run by a woman called ‘Anmol’ aka Pinky — hailing from Rahim Yar Khan (RYK). Those students who have completed their education at the university on condition of anonymity made surprising revelations about the delivery of drugs in the schools. Abdullah who works for anti-narcotics showed his concern about the rise in drug addiction among the youth. Faisal Edhi, Head of Edhi Foundation also expressed his concern on the rise of drugs usage among youth of Karachi. Karachi Police is aware of the trap. And claimed to arrest over 25 suppliers of drugs in educational institutions. But still, the network of the drug dealers could not be broken. Police officers said that they alone could not stop the use of drugs in educational institutions and urged teachers and parents also to play their roles.
