Alleged audio of ex-CJ Saqib Nisar: ‘US firm confident of tape’s integrity’

ISLAMABAD: The United States (US) firm which carried out the forensic analysis of the audio clip attributed to the ex-chief justice Saqib Nisar is “confident of the integrity of the audio file”, according to the journalist who revealed the bombshell audio.

The alleged audio clip of former chief justice Saqib Nisar has triggered an intense debate among the political circles with Opposition parties demanding a thorough investigation into the matter.

The government, however, has termed it a conspiracy against the judiciary and blamed the PML-N leadership for using dirty tactics against the institutions.

Ahmad Noorani, the journalist who broke the story, tweeted on Monday saying; “Each and every word said by any person can be found out in one’s previous speeches and talks. I have released the forensic report of audio by a credible organisation. The only way to reject it is to come up with a forensic report of the audio I have released and prove it wrong.”

He told a web programme that he had the tape for over two months and took every possible precaution to get it examined by the experts to rule out forgery.

Noorani said Garret Discovery, a leading American firm specializing in multimedia forensics, examined the tape.

He said the audio tape was released only after the firm’s experts were confident of the integrity of the audio file and gave a go-ahead saying “the audio has not been edited in any way.”
