During questioning, the accused reportedly identified three alleged key figures, Shoaib Baloch, Anis, and Javed, in the network, and also revealed the involvement of five other individuals from Peshawar.
According to the report, the network had earlier operated from Karachi’s Gharibabad area before allegedly shifting activities to Hyderabad after authorities traced the hideout.

Investigators further claimed that the entire network operated primarily through WhatsApp communication.
According to the investigation, the people working in the network were paid Rs 150,000 per kg, while high-quality ice was sold for Rs 200,000 per kg and heroin for Rs 300,000 per kg.
