PFSL Confirms KP Chief Minister in May 9 Videos as Peshawar Police Weigh Case Action

Police are assessing a supplementary challan after lab verification of identities with limited splicing detected.

Overview

  • The Punjab Forensic Science Laboratory verified the presence of Sohail Afridi, Kamran Bangash, Taimur Jhagra and Irfan Saleem by matching their profile photographs to individuals in the footage.
  • Investigators examined 16 clips from a USB submitted by Police Station Sharqi, conducting a frame-by-frame review between December 19 and 23, 2025 that was limited to visual content.
  • Several videos showed no edits, while some contained added logos or text, and two clips involving Afridi and Saleem showed evidence of splicing.
  • The Anti-Terrorism Court requested the analysis in the Radio Pakistan attack case, and police have submitted the PFSL report to the court after receiving it recently.
  • Peshawar Police say they have briefed the KP inspector general, sought legal advice and are considering naming Afridi as an accused through a supplementary challan.
