ISLAMABAD: May 9, the most tragic event in the history of Pakistan was carried out by the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, where the Research Analysis Wing (RAW) fully facilitated this critical event.
In a recent revelation, it has been alleged that India’s government, including its intelligence agency (RAW), gave support to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) during the digital campaign associated with the events of May 9.
In addition, sources suggest that PTI received an unusually high volume of retweets and likes on Twitter, numbers far exceeding the platform’s active user base within Pakistan, raising questions about foreign digital interference and manipulation.
Additionally, the extraordinary traction received by PTI’s social media content on May 9 has sparked suspicions of coordinated online activity.
Cybersecurity analysts and investigative journalists are now probing whether these engagements were organic or artificially generated through external support.
Moreover, authorities have now turned their focus to identifying the mastermind behind the events of May 9.
The May 9 events occurred when former chairman of PTI Imran Khan was arrested from the Islamabad High Court. This arrest led to create violence and chaos across the country.
In this sense, the May 9 protests, also declared as Black Day by the Pakistani government, were a series of violent riots that took place on May 9, 2023.
These protests led to incidents of vandalism, looting, and arson, resulting in Rs 1.98 billion worth of damage inflicted on government and military facilities. In such a scenario, both parties have equally participated in these events.

Furthermore, arson, vandalism, and assaults on governmental and military installations were committed by rioters, and 62 breakouts of violence, with at least 40 buildings confirmed to be damaged in the aftermath.

Moreover, the Inspector General of Police Punjab, Dr. Usman Anwar carried out massive investigation about these events where he confimed the deployments of geo-fencing to monitor these communications, identifying Imran Khan, the main suspect in planning the assaults.
In response to the May 9 event, Punjab Home Department formulated 53 Joint Investigation Teams (JIT) made up of police officials and other members from intelligence agencies to find out the main perpetrators behind the riots.
In this crackdown campaign, launched by the government, they had reportedly arrested numerous PTI leaders, supporters, and demonstrators who actively participated in the violent activity of May 9.
