Lies, Drones, and Drama: How Pakistan tried to blame India and got caught
New Delhi: Just days after Pakistan’s military media wing, Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) and Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar tried to blame India for the recent terror incidents, it has now come out that Pakistan used fake stories, made-up chats, and Chinese drones to push a false narrative. The aim was clear; to shift blame for the Pahalgam terror attack and hide the truth of its own internal chaos.
According to the information shared by an X user on the microblogging platform, ISPR tried to create an anti-India narrative using lies and poor tricks.
After the Pahalgam attack, Pakistan and its agencies panicked and started creating fake evidence, like forged screenshots, fake audios, and even ridiculous stories, just to blame India, says the report.
On April 29, Pakistan’s DG ISPR Lt. Gen. Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry held a press conference accusing India of being involved in terror activities inside Pakistan. The very next day, Pakistan’s Deputy PM and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar repeated the same claims and even invited independent experts to verify their so-called ‘evidence’, adds the report.
The said X user pointed out several serious problems in Pakistan’s claims and explained why the entire ‘evidence’ falls apart, in his own words.
Here’s what was highlighted:
Wrong way of doing forensics: The first and biggest mistake was using a live, active phone for digital investigation. The rule of digital forensics is to use a cloned and inactive device to avoid tampering with data. Using an active phone with two SIMs destroys data integrity, making the whole forensic process unreliable. The user sarcastically said, ‘Live device = dead forensic’.
Fake WhatsApp recordings: Pakistan claimed that a terrorist named Majeed was caught on April 25, and they also had a WhatsApp voice call from a year ago. But there are two problems here. First, based on the terrorist’s low education level, it’s very unlikely he had the knowledge to install apps that record WhatsApp calls. Second, it is possible ISPR planted spyware or malware in his phone long ago to set the narrative.
Suspicious screenshots: Pakistan also showed screenshots of WhatsApp chats as ‘evidence’. But the screenshots appear to be taken just a minute or two after the messages were sent. The question is: how did ISPR take those screenshots before Majeed was even arrested? Were they time-traveling? Also, the chats show the other person (alleged handler) as ‘online’ at the time the screenshots were taken. How is that possible unless the terrorist himself was preparing all this for ISPR?
In one case, a screenshot was taken at 3:08 a.m., just seconds after a message was sent, again, before the arrest happened. The X user mockingly said, ‘Was the terrorist collecting evidence himself for ISPR?’
Chinese drone, not Indian: ISPR also said they found a drone at Majeed’s place and claimed it was Indian. But the X user did a simple reverse image search on Google and found that the drone was actually a Chinese DJI model.
False money trail: Pakistan claimed that Indian handlers were sending money in small amounts through Pakistani payment apps to avoid being caught by Pakistan’s spy agency, ISI. But this claim makes no sense. Why would Indian agents use Pakistani platforms to send money to terrorists? That would be the easiest way to get caught. This claim seems cooked up to confuse people.
No real proof of Indian officers being involved: ISPR also named some Indian Army officers, saying they were involved. But they failed to give any real proof. They didn’t show a single Indian phone number, call details, internet logs, or any actual contact between the accused and India.
The X user summed it up perfectly: Pakistan didn’t uncover any real conspiracy against itself. Instead, it made a desperate attempt to stage a false drama using lies and fake evidence.
In the end, this whole thing is just another example of Pakistan’s long habit of making up stories and blaming India to hide its own failures. The 2 a.m. press conference after the Pahalgam attack wasn’t a sign of urgency, it was a sign of panic and a weak attempt to fool the world.
