Pakistan Reiterates Call for Independent Probe as Indian Social Media, Authorities Trade Claims Over Pahalgam Attack Document

Following the recent attack in Pahalgam, Indian social media platforms and certain official sources have circulated claims regarding what they describe as a Pakistan-issued national identity card (NIC) allegedly linked to the incident. Unverified posts, which have gained significant traction, assert that the document features irregularities such as mismatched fonts and questionable dates of issue and expiry. Some users have gone further, alleging the document was fabricated using artificial intelligence tools, though no official Indian government agency has publicly validated these forensic claims.

Had the entire year but still came up with AI evidence and a slop story that only your low-IQ domestic audience will buy.

Keep in mind: Pakistan is still ready for an independent, third-party investigation of the Pahalgam incident. https://t.co/h9pqF1y7oF pic.twitter.com/0NTVFEWdkM

No independent verification of the document's authenticity or the alleged anomalies has been provided to date. Critics of the social media narrative point to the absence of chain-of-custody documentation or third-party forensic analysis.

In response to the broader allegations surrounding the Pahalgam incident, Pakistan has reiterated its readiness to cooperate with an independent, third-party investigation. Officials in Islamabad have stated that such a probe would help establish facts and counter what they describe as unsubstantiated accusations aimed at undermining diplomatic dialogue.

As of now, no international body has announced a formal investigation into the incident or the disputed identity document.
