A purportedly classified document has surfaced on social media, allegedly implicating Indiaโs intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), in orchestrating a false flag operation in Pahalgam. The leak has triggered serious questions about the credibility of New Delhi’s narrative surrounding the recent attack.
Security sources claim the document, which emerged on the encrypted messaging app Telegram, contains compelling evidence suggesting the Indian government’s direct involvement in planning and executing the incident. These revelations cast doubt on India’s counter-terrorism claims and suggest a coordinated attempt to discredit Pakistan.
According to insiders, the leaked file outlines detailed instructions, operational timelines, and strategic missteps that eventually exposed the operation. One directive reportedly instructed Indian media outlets to blame Pakistan and its Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency 36 hours after the attack. However, premature media reports allegedly disrupted the timeline, undermining the intended narrative.
The document also hints at internal dissent within Indiaโs intelligence community, with suggestions that RAW may be acting on covert directives beyond official channels. Security officials speculate that the leak could stem from disillusioned insiders opposed to the prevailing Hindutva-driven agenda.
Among the key claims made in the document:
- RAW operatives were instructed to activate media assets 36 to 48 hours before the attack near the target site.
- The timing of the operation was allegedly planned to coincide with the diplomatic visit of U.S. Vice President JD Vance, aiming to elicit global sympathy.
- The narrative was designed to portray the attack as targeting both the Indian state and non-Muslim civilians, thereby broadening its international impact.
- Plans were reportedly made to use AI-generated witness testimonies, fabricated blurry video footage, and more than 200 social media accounts to spread disinformation.
The leak, if verified, could have significant geopolitical repercussions and calls for a thorough, independent investigation into the claims.
