ISLAMABAD: Investigation teams probing the attacks on General Headquarters (GHQ), Corps Commander’s House and other sensitive military installations on May 9 — the date when Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan was arrested — have found “undeniable evidence” of PTI leadership’s involvement through technical evidence mining.

Following the Punjab government’s crackdown on the miscreants and PTI leadership involved in the May 9 riots and protests, questions were raised about the transparency of the investigation teams, and how they were ensuring that no innocent person was arrested in the name of law and order.

Moreover, questions were also raised about how these perpetrators were being identified and how the Punjab Police were carrying out an investigation against the miscreants involved.

Addressing these concerns, well-placed sources in the Punjab Police, privy to the ongoing investigation, told media. “The investigation team headed by DIG Kamran Adil has focused on the technical evidence to hold the culprits responsible.

They shared that during the investigation, the police relied on three technical aspects.

One is social media posts including Facebook, Twitter, WhatsApp and YouTube. Two, Safe City cameras and video footage; three, geofencing and Call Detail Records (CDR) of those believed to be involved in the attacks on military installations.

An analysis of all the data gathered has “proved” that it was a “well-orchestrated plan by the PTI leadership”to attack the military installations in case Imran Khan was arrested.

The WhatsApp groups record of PTI leadership has provided undeniable evidence against the party leadership and how it planned the May 9 saga, informed the sources.

“Through geofencing and CDR, the investigation teams have collected undeniable evidence that it was a well-planned and well-orchestrated operation of the PTI to attack the sensitive installations.
