Overview
- Punjab Forensic Science Laboratory conducted a frame-by-frame visual analysis of 16 clips submitted by Peshawar Police between December 19 and 23, 2025.
- The report matched profile photographs of Sohail Afridi, Kamran Bangash, Taimur Jhagra and Irfan Saleem to individuals seen in the May 9 footage.
- Several videos showed no editing, though some contained added people or text, and two clips featuring Afridi and Irfan Saleem showed evidence of splicing.
- Peshawar Police have begun consultations on naming Afridi as an accused and indicated a supplementary challan may be submitted to the court.
- Government officials called the findings conclusive and admissible, while PTI leaders disputed the clips’ relevance and said at least one was filmed in Islamabad.
