In a blistering argument of Pakistan's recent terror claims against India, a collaborative investigation by Voyager Infosec and ISPR Monitor has uncovered discrepancies, technical errors, and outright fabrication in the so-called "credible evidence" put forth by Pakistan's Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR).
Pakistan's military spokesperson, Lt Gen Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, publicly blamed India for sponsoring terror attacks inside Pakistan on April 29. This was echoed by Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar on April 30, who called upon international experts to determine the authenticity of the so-called evidence. Meanwhile, the independent forensic analysis by Voyager Infosec and ISPR Monitor terms the whole account as "forged, flawed, and fictitious."
Live Phones, Fake Screenshots, 'Phantom' WhatsApp Calls
Pakistan's alleged digital forensics, according to the report, violated basic protocols. ISPR’s entire “forensic investigation” was conducted on a live, active phone with dual SIMs instead of cloned ones. Whereas the investigation should be carried out on inactive devices to preserve the integrity of the data.
One of the most important "proof" was a WhatsApp screenshot of a supposed handler named Shaknder who was seen "online" even though the phone was supposedly in the ISPR's custody. The report refers to this as an "amateur forgery," suggesting either that the device was never taken into custody or that the screenshot was faked using spoofed material.
The ISPR also asserted to have recordings of WhatsApp calls made more than a year ago. The report refutes this assertion, saying such information could not have existed unless the terrorist had installed call-recording malware himself, or ISI planted spyware at the start, which means, the report claims, they knew in advance about terror attacks and chose not to prevent them.
Screenshot Sorcery And Made In China Drones
In what Voyager Infosec terms "screenshot sorcery," Pakistan presented screenshots of chats in which the timestamps precisely align within minutes of the message, even though the suspect had been arrested much later. The report asks, “Was the terrorist screenshotting all his crimes in real-time just in case ISPR needed a press kit?” In another discrepancy, an image by drone posted by ISPR was searched by the forensic unit and proved to be a picture of a China-made DJI model, contradicting the involvement claim of the Indians.

Money Trail, IED Lessons, And Much More
ISPR claimed small, prudent payments had been made by the handler to evade detection. But then they produced a PKR 1,95,000 transaction that is a clear contradiction. The allegedly "forensically analyzed" phone displayed screenshots of money transfers one minute after the transaction was made, even though the phone had been in police custody for months before. The probe also found discrepancies in the voice evidence. The purportedly Indian handler's voice messages change from Hindi to Pakistani Punjabi, and voice analysis identified two distinct speakers, undermining ISPR’s narrative. Despite asserting to have traced serving Indian Army officers, ISPR did not provide call metadata, Indian phone numbers, ISP logs, or direct communication evidence with India. The report states this as a classic instance of "reverse-engineered evidence to support a pre-decided narrative."
The April 29 press conference, reliant on ARY News screenshots and saffron-wrapped IEDs, seemed to be staged, the investigators said. A March 19 tweet screenshot was purportedly "recovered" from a phone that was confiscated after April 25, which cast serious doubts on the timeline. "Why was ISPR capturing tweet screenshots a month before the arrest? Were they prepping a narrative?" the report questions.
“ISPR didn’t uncover a conspiracy. They staged one,” concludes the report. It accuses Pakistan’s military PR wing of producing fabricated screenshots, fake audio, inconsistent messaging, and laughable theatrics in an attempt to frame India. This Voyager Infosec and ISPR Monitor exposes not only Pakistan's recent assertions but also reflects on the declining credibility of its information on warfare efforts.
