Garrett Discovery receives threat over Fact Focus report

Fact Focus publicized audio clip last week which alleged Nisar tampered with verdict against Nawaz Sharif

American forensic lab Garrett Discovery that verified former Supreme Court chief justice (SCCJ) Mian Saqib Nisar’s alleged audio clip, has said that it received a threat from an unknown caller for their work in authenticating a file for media outlet Fact Focus.

Garrett Discovery tweeted on Wednesday from their official account, which was cross checked as authentic from their website, that they had received an unknown call, which threatened that the lives of those at the lab were ‘in danger’. The caller also told the lab that they would file a case in court against the audio clip verification work they did for Fact Focus.

The forensic lab also said that they had received over a 1000 calls and chat requests and added that it was ‘unethical’ to pressurize them into changing the results of their investigation.

Garrett Discovery had tweeted a day ago that they received over 500 calls from ‘journalists and individuals’ about the audio clip they verified for Fact Focus.

The American organisation has also stuck by its client and revealed that it had refused to furbish information to a local Pakistani news channel, which had inquired about their work. The company maintained that it would not give their two cents over the phone.

The forensic experts were cited as the verifier of an audio clip, which was associated with former Supreme Court chief justice (SCCJ) Mian Saqib Nisar last week. Garret Discovery, according to Fact Focus, had verified the audio clip, and concluded that there was no editing involved.

The clip allegedly featured Nisar telling an unknown person that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif had to be declared guilty, as some ‘institutions’ wanted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Imran Khan to come to power.
