New Delhi, May 4: Just days after Pakistan’s Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) and Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar accused India of orchestrating terror attacks on its soil, a series of damning revelations have punched holes in the claims, exposing Islamabad’s latest anti-India narrative as a poorly executed charade.
The Pakistani establishment, reeling from global backlash following the Pahalgam terror attack, hastily pinned the blame on India through a late-night press conference on April 29. ISPR’s Director General Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry presented alleged digital evidence to support the claim, which was promptly echoed by Ishaq Dar, who even invited international experts to verify the findings.
However, a detailed counter posted by a user on platform X (formerly Twitter) has dismantled the so-called evidence, terming it laughable and technically flawed. The user, who analysed the data shared by ISPR, pointed out glaring inconsistencies, including the use of a live phone for forensic analysis—something that violates the basic tenets of digital forensics. The analysis stated that the investigation should have been done on a cloned, inactive device to maintain data integrity.
Further, the user questioned how Pakistani authorities managed to extract screenshots and audio recordings allegedly from a year ago within minutes of arresting the suspect. The timing of the screenshots, presence of an online handler during the capture, and even a supposed drone image—later revealed to be of Chinese origin—were cited as signs of deliberate fabrication.
The so-called financial links between India and operatives in Pakistan were also dismissed as implausible. The user noted that no foreign payment systems or identifiable digital trails were provided, and that the narrative lacked any verifiable connection to Indian sources.
Despite naming Indian Army officers, ISPR failed to present call records, metadata, ISP logs, or any form of traceable communication. The accusations, experts say, seem more like a desperate attempt to divert attention from Pakistan’s internal failures rather than a credible exposé.
With a history of manufacturing narratives and staging evidence, Pakistan’s attempt to draw India into its domestic crisis appears to have backfired once again. Analysts say the press conference served more as a performance to appease domestic audiences rather than convince the international community.
