PESHAWAR: A resident of Swat, who claims to have prepared the fake video of flogging of a girl in Swat, has termed it drama and revealed that he received Rs0.5 million for doing so before the launch of military operation ‘Rah-e-Rast’.

Before the operation ‘Rah-e-Rast’, an NGO financed preparation of fake video of flogging in which they portrayed the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) members flogging a woman. The provincial government and Malakand Commissioner Syed Muhammad Javed ordered investigations and sought report from the authorities concerned.

After the successful operation in Malakand division, the law-enforcement agencies had arrested the children who were present in the video while a resident of Swat was apprehended by Kohat administration. The children and the arrested man revealed that the video was fake and said that it was made on the demand of Islamabad-based NGO which provided him Rs0.5 million.

Sources revealed that woman who was flogged in the video was also arrested and she revealed that she had received Rs0.1 million while Rs50,000 were given to each child. Sources said that the NGO produced the video to defame the country’s integrity and respect.

Sources stated that the law-enforcement agencies dispatched the report about the arrests of the culprits and proposed action against the NGO. They also said that the security agencies also apprehended the TTP workers who flogged the people.

Very interesting.. brother do you have the link/source for this article?

The video was very distressing and I can easily believe this would have been done to further discredit Pashtuns.

And I magine they would be punished, if not for lying and taking bribes. Allah knows best.

Some unanswered questions.
If the video was made by a mobile phone, how are the noises explained?
If this video was made earlier, why did it come out so late?
A female being able to stand up after 35 lashes, how is that possible?
The identification of this female?
The location of this incident, swat, pakistan or not what?
Who labelled the acqusations of fornication against this female?
Why has there has been no one witness in the area found about this?

the lady who brought the video in the media expresses her views in here

Jazakallahhu Khayr, I pray Allah gives me strength to not engage in arguments regarding Pakistan. I simply do not know who is telling the truth.
