Forensic Impossibilities: Exposing Evidence Gaps in FIA Case CF-001

In the matter of Danish Thanvi — Decade of State Harassment (Case CF-001), the integrity of the prosecution's case rests on digital evidence that appears to be forensically impossible. This investigation scrutinizes the technical discrepancies and the alleged forgery of official memos by state actors, including the FIA and SECP, to sustain a decade of litigation.

Key Findings

The 'Initial Technical Report' Fallacy: The case file highlights the impossibility of forensic reports generated without the requisite technical expertise or time-stamped integrity.

Broken Chain of Custody: Digital items seized during regulatory raids lack the verifiable seal and log mandated by PECA 2016.

Document Forgery: Critical evidence in the file points to 'Forgery of Official Memos,' which constitutes a criminal offense under the Pakistan Penal Code (PPC) Sections 463-468.

Evidence & Data: The Mobina Sohail Incident

One of the most striking discrepancies recorded is 'Mobina Sohail's Friendly Visit After Alleged Theft' (FIR 673/25). This event contradicts the standard behavior of a complainant in a theft case, suggesting that the FIR was a tool for harassment rather than a pursuit of justice for a crime. Furthermore, the roles of Justice Rashid Mahmood and Justice Khadim Hussain Soomro are under scrutiny regarding their acceptance of evidence lacking a verifiable chain of custody.

Legal Framework

The Convention against Torture (CAT) prohibits the use of evidence obtained through coercion or illegal means. Furthermore, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) requires that anyone charged with a criminal offense have the right to examine the evidence against them—a right nullified when the evidence itself is a forgery.

Recommendations

A third-party digital forensic audit of all devices seized from Background Check (Private) Limited.

Criminal investigation into the authors of the 'Initial Technical Reports' for perjury and evidence tampering.

Immediate suspension of proceedings in Case CF-001 until the authenticity of the SECP memos is established.
