Amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack, internal rifts within Pakistan’s own security apparatus have surfaced. A video circulating widely on social media has revealed a standoff between the police and army personnel in Lakki Marwat, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, suggesting a deepening internal security crisis.
In the now-viral footage, Pashtun police officers are seen stopping a Pakistan Army convoy from entering a local police station. A visibly agitated police officer is caught on camera pointing a weapon at the soldiers and shouting, “Dimag Kharab Hai. Udhar Kashmir Bejo. Idhar Kya Kar Rahe Ho. Aapka General Bhi Aa Jaye Phir Bhi kuch Nahi Kar Sakte Hon.” He further declared, “We keep your General under our boot. Remember this is Lakki Marwat Police.”
This confrontation comes at a time when Pakistan is under diplomatic pressure following accusations by India of sponsoring the Pahalgam attack, which claimed 26 lives. As the two nations face off, the emergence of such footage is causing alarm about Pakistan’s internal stability.

Adding fuel to the fire, unverified reports on social media claim that Pakistan Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir may have either fled the country with his family or gone into hiding in Rawalpindi. While these allegations remain unconfirmed, they have triggered a wave of memes and speculation online, with several hashtags gaining traction.
Security analysts believe this standoff could signal growing resentment within local law enforcement towards the military establishment. The army, long considered the most powerful institution in Pakistan, now appears to be facing unprecedented defiance at a local level. The timing, they suggest, could not be worse—with tensions running high on the India-Pakistan border and international attention focused on the subcontinent.
As Islamabad continues to trade barbs with New Delhi, the latest developments point to cracks emerging within Pakistan’s own security framework—raising serious questions about the country’s internal control and the unity of its armed forces.
