ISPR DG presents irrrefutable evidence of Indian state-sponsored terrorism in Pakistan

Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR) Director General Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry Tuesday accused India of orchestrating a state-sponsored terrorism campaign inside Pakistan, targeting both military personnel and civilians.

The briefing, which aimed to expose India’s alleged role in cross-border terrorism, comes just a week after the Pahalgam incident, which India has blamed on Pakistan without providing evidence, according to Lt Gen Chaudhry.

“Instead of investigating the incident transparently, India has launched a propaganda campaign to malign Pakistan’s image globally,” he stated, suggesting that India’s tactics are a diversion from its internal failures and upcoming political developments.

Lt Gen Chaudhry presented what he described as “irrefutable evidence” of India’s terror network operating within Pakistan, revealing that explosives, improvised explosive devices (IEDs), and other materials are being supplied to terrorists to carry out attacks.

He highlighted a recent case, stating that on April 25, a Pakistani citizen turned Indian-trained terrorist, Abdul Majeed, was arrested near Jhelum bus stand with one IED, two mobile phones, and Rs70,000 in cash. Further investigation led to the recovery of an Indian-origin drone and Rs1 million from Majeed’s residence, with forensic analysis pointing to the involvement of serving Indian Army officers.

“The handler was a junior commissioned officer of the Indian Army, Subedar Sukvinder,” Chaudhry disclosed, adding that Sukvinder had sent the IED and instructed Majeed to collect it from a designated point.

“This is not an isolated incident," Chaudhry declared, revealing that four Indian Army officials—including Major Sandeep Verma, the alleged mastermind—were actively coordinating terror activities from Indian-occupied Kashmir.

The DG ISPR went on to name four Indian Army officials allegedly involved in the operation: Major Sandeep Verma, the main handler and a commanding officer in Indian-occupied Kashmir; Subedar Sukvinder, also known as Sikander; Havildar Amit, alias Adil Aman; and another unnamed Indian soldier.

According to Lt Gen Chaudhry, forensic analysis of the seized materials provided concrete evidence that could be verified by any credible independent agency. He played an audio clip allegedly capturing a conversation between Major Sandeep Verma and Majeed, in which Verma confessed to orchestrating terrorist activities “from Balochistan to Lahore.”

In the recording, Verma reportedly detailed methods of terror financing, including payments and entry points for operations, with chilling statements like, “Our goal is to kill as many Pakistanis as possible,” and instructions to target crowded places like bus stands.

He also discussed payment methods and identified targets in crowded public areas, admitting that the terror campaign had been ongoing “for years” and was financed directly from India.

“Just hear what is being said by a serving Indian major,” Lt Gen Chaudhry urged the media. “He is openly discussing the logistics of terrorism, financing, and coordination of attacks on our soil. This is not speculation—this is a confession.”

The press conference revealed further details of Majeed’s operations, which included 47 attacks across Pakistan. Majeed had been paid Rs180,000 for an operation in Bhimber, where he obtained explosives from the Barnala area, resulting in injuries to three Pakistan Army soldiers.

Another operation near Head Marala involved explosives for a separate attack, while on March 18, Majeed was tasked with retrieving two bombs from Kotli for a third operation, for which he received Rs60,000. A particularly devastating attack near Jalalpur Jattan led to the martyrdom of four soldiers. Subedar Sukvinder had shared the location for explosives as early as November 22 last year, and Majeed’s arrest at Jhelum bus stand uncovered a 2.5-kilogram bomb, underscoring the scale of the threat.

Lt Gen Chaudhry condemned India’s actions, stating, “India is not just making baseless allegations against Pakistan, but is actively spreading terrorism on our soil.”

He accused Indian intelligence of providing online training to terrorists like Majeed and criticised India for failing to provide evidence for its claims regarding the Pahalgam incident. The DG ISPR emphasized that the evidence presented was only a small part of India’s broader state-sponsored terrorism campaign, calling on the international community to take notice.

“We’re exposing only one cell today,” Lt Gen Chaudhry emphasized. “This is just a small fragment of the broader network India has built inside Pakistan. It shows a deliberate pattern of subversion, not rogue elements but active Indian military officers running terror operations with methodical precision.”

Video footage, drone imagery, and audio recordings were all presented during the briefing, with the military asserting that this evidence could be verified by any credible international agency.

Concluding the session, the DG ISPR condemned India’s dual approach of propaganda abroad and terrorism at home, stressing that Pakistan would not allow its sovereignty to be compromised.

“India is not merely making baseless allegations—it is actively spreading terrorism on our soil. This is not just an act of aggression; it is a war being waged in the shadows,” he said.
