In a high-level press conference on Tuesday, Director General of the Inter-Services Public Relations (ISPR), Lieutenant General Ahmed Sharif Chaudhry, revealed detailed evidence of Indian state-sponsored terrorism. He pointed out that, while India has failed to produce any evidence following the April 22 Pahalgam incident in Indian-occupied Kashmir, Pakistan has gathered documented proof of Indian interference and violence on its soil. “Seven days have passed since the Pahalgam attack, and India has offered nothing but accusations. Today, we are presenting concrete proof of India’s state terrorism in Pakistan,” he said.

Lt Gen Chaudhry disclosed that on April 25, a terrorist trained by India, identified as Abdul Majeed, was apprehended near a bus terminal in Jhelum. The suspect was found with a 2.5-kilogram bomb, an Indian-manufactured drone, Rs1 million in cash, and mobile phones containing recorded communication with Indian handlers. Forensic analysis confirmed that Majeed had been in direct contact with Subedar Sukhwinder, a serving officer of the Indian Army, who instructed him on acquiring and deploying explosives inside Pakistan.

Intercepted communications revealed that Sukhwinder, along with other identified Indian military officers including Major Sandeep Verma, Havaldar Amit, and a sepoy whose identity is being withheld, were actively involved in directing terrorist operations. The captured messages included chilling instructions to “ensure civilian casualties in Pakistan” to create a false narrative of instability. The handlers also sent training materials and bomb-making videos to the militants.

Lt Gen Chaudhry further revealed that Major Sandeep Verma admitted in one exchange that he was coordinating terror activities from Balochistan to Lahore. On September 24, Sukhwinder guided Majeed to a stash of explosives in Barnala, Bhimber. On October 13, Majeed carried out a bomb attack on a military vehicle in Bagh District, injuring three soldiers. Indian handlers reportedly paid Majeed Rs180,000 for the operation.
