A secret source has revealed exactly how Pakistan attempted to cover-up the IAF's strike on Pak's Balakot terror base. Bodies were burnt and dumped in a river, the eyewitness has said. The source has exposed the Pak Army's crackdown on nearby residents in its efforts to snuff out the true scope of the IAF blitz

Conclusively busting Pakistan's sham claims in the aftermath of the IAF's counter-terrorism strike on Pakistan's Balakot terror factory, Republic TV has exclusively accessed the #BalakotTape.

In the three-minute audio, a secret-source who was an eyewitness to the events that transpired in Balakot post-India's February 26 blitz has exposed Pakistan and its army's cover-up, wherein dead terrorists were hurriedly disposed of and locals silenced with an iron fist.

The eye-witness, who is a nearby resident, says the following:

That he can't confirm the number of terrorists killed, but the Pakistan Army took over Balakot, silencing people by force and snatching their mobile phones

The Internet was shut down in the Balakot area to stop photos and videos from being circulated, though some made it out

Pakistan Army restricted any doctors from treating injured terrorists

In large numbers, bodies were burnt by getting petrol from cars

Some bodies were disposed of in the nearby Kunhar river to wrap all evidence

Most of the dead terrorists were from the Jaish-e-Mohammed

Survivors of the IAF's strike have been sent to the Waziristan-Afghanistan border

He named terrorists who were killed and the roles they played in the terror organisation, including an IED expert

He said that the ISI and JeM are in fear after India's strike

Names of JeM Terrorists Killed:

"In the recent strike by the Indian forces in Balakot, whoever was targeted, I know almost all of them. Most of those who have been killed are linked to Jaish-e-Mohammed. Almost all those who have been killed are from Jaish-e-Mohammed, almost all of them. I'm going to share some of their names, please keep them in mind.

Mainshah Abdar Zak, Lahore's Major Retd Havar Rana, Altaf Ali Chaudhary from Karachi, Mudassar Ali from Rawalpindi, Ustad Mohsin from Bahawalpur, Datta Khel's Tafail Dost. Two brothers from Dhannu Ali Khatak and Bahadur Khatak. They were two brothers who have been killed. A top commander of Jaish from Gujranwala has been killed. He was a crucial Jaish leader. Software expert Rana Mohsin Ali, Mianwali's Tafiq Umar, Moin Ali, Sardar Suhail, Dera Ghazi Khan's Capt Retd Mushtaq, Mandi Bawaldeen's Sheheryaar Deen, a special video editor from model town in Karachi's Tahir Ali Sheikh. An IED expert from Dera Ismail Khan called 'Engineer Rana'. I have only named a few of them till now.These are the names I am aware of. These are the name I have details about."

Pakistan Army Reaction:

"The total number of terrorists killed is still not known. But the Pakistani army has surrounded the entire area in Balakot. They are thrashing and brutalising people. They are snatching their mobile phones. They have even shut down internet services in the area so that people do not circulate information, videos and pictures. But the scene at that moment was very disturbing because they were not even providing basic medical care to the injured at that moment. Those injured were screaming for help. But the (Pakistani) Army was so inhuman and they did not even allow doctors to go there. They burnt most of the bodies, most of them."

Bodies of JeM Terrorists:

"They got petrol out of cars and used it to burn the bodies. The remaining bodies were put in sacks and were dumped in the Kulhar river. Do you understand? They dumped the bodies in the river so that there is no proof available in the future. Even after they tried to cover up the matter, people have videos which they are circulating. It seems as if after the Indian strike, believe me, Jaish-e-Mohammed and ISI are rattled. They have moved all their men Waziristan-Afghanistan border. Do you understand? Since the strike, they shifted all their men from here and sent them to the Afghanistan-Waziristan border. If there is another strike by India at the Pakistani army camps, they will have no place to hide. We believe that if the Indian army continues to target the terror camps and continues to kill terrorists, soon we will be free of terror."

Pakistan has resorted to deception in more ways than one to keep their terror links under wraps, for which the country in return accused India of 'eco-terrorism' in Balakot air-strikes for bombing and destroying trees, 19 trees to be precise, and continued to stay in denial of any casualty numbers. 

Although, Republic Bharat on Wednesday accessed final visual proof of the accuracy of the Indian Air Force's February 26 precision strike against the Jaish-e-Mohammed's terrorist base in Balakot

Three different structures in the Jaish-e-Mohammed complex in Balakot were hammered with the Israel-made SPICE-2000 missile system. The unique characteristic of the precision missile system is that it makes a clean entry inside the building and then explodes.

How Balakot Came To Be The Target:

As per inputs, during its surveillance in the immediate aftermath of the strike on Pakistan's terror bases being greenlit, the National Technical Research Organisation (NTRO) detected around 300 mobile phones being active at the well-known terrorism facility in Balakot, and this remained stable for a number of days before the attack.

A number of other agencies then corroborated the NTRO's surveillance findings, validating the presence of the estimated number of terrorist foot-soldiers and handlers at the location that was then being run by Jaish-chief Masood Azhar's brother-in-law. The Air Force was then provided with the inputs ahead of the attack.
