An anti-India dossier released by the Pakistan government that alleged mass killings in Jammu and Kashmir by Indian security forces, relied on false images of a burnt body.
Pakistan government that alleged mass killings in Jammu and Kashmir by Indian security forces, relied on false images of a burnt body.
The dossier was released by Pakistan’s National Security Advisor (NSA) Moeed Yusuf, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi and Human Rights Minister Shireen Mazari in Islamabad last week.
It alleged that on July 4, 2017 Indian forces killed a person named Jehangir Khanday at Bahmanoo Area of Pulwama. The dossier also suggested that Indian forces “possibly used chemical weapons” in this operation.
Graphic images of an unrecognizable charred body were included in the Pakistan government’s dossier to affirm the claim with the caption “charred body of Jehangir Khanday and Kifayat Ahmad”.
However, the same picture of the body was posted on multiple internet platforms, years before the 2017 encounter in Pulwama, as alleged in the dossier.
In 2011 (six years before the encounter in Kashmir), the unverified picture was posted on an internet forum where a user attributed it to the Turkish violence against the Kurds (warning: graphic images).

The picture was again posted in 2013 (four years before the encounter in Kashmir) on another internet forum with similar claims (warning: graphic images)
Even before that, in 2009 (eight years before the encounter in Kashmir), this picture was posted on another platform with unverified claims that the body belonged to an incident in Gaza (warning: graphic images), where white phosphorus bombs were used.
Several years and multiple internet forums later, the unverified picture managed to find its place in the official document posted on Pakistan’s foreign ministry.

The 153-page dossier did not mention that the slain individuals in the Bahmnoo encounter belonged to the terrorist organization Hizbul Mujahedeen.
The armed organisation has been outlawed and listed among Terrorist Organisations in the First Schedule under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act by the Indian government.
The outfit was designated as “Foreign Terrorist Organization” even by the US government. Its chief, Syed Salahuddin, who lives in Pakistan, has been listed as the Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGT) by the US government.
The webpage that hosted the Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA) is now inaccessible in India. However, official social media accounts of the Pakistan government, as well as its foreign missions, continue to post the links of the dossier.
