On Sunday, the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency arrested Saad ur Rehman, better known as Ducky Bhai, a famous YouTuber.
Different news sources say that the agency has already arrested Ducky Bhai at the Lahore airport and is looking into him.
Sources in the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency told the news that his name is on the Provisional National Identification List (PNIL) and that he is being questioned on several charges.
Sources also said that Ducky Bhai tried to leave the country to escape going to court but was stopped by police when they saw his name on the PNIL.
A few months ago, Ducky Bhai and his wife, Aroob Jatoi, were arrested by CIA police in Lahore’s Model Town for posting a picture of a gun on social media.
Lahore Airport arrested Ducky Bhai for encouraging online gambling.
The airport stopped the YouTuber as he attempted to fly abroad, according to sources.
The Provisional National Identification List (PNIL) already had his name on it. Investigations prevent those on this list from leaving the country.
He was not allowed to get on his flight because of this.
Ducky Bhai is one of the best-known people in Pakistan due to his video content. Millions of people follow him on YouTube and other social media sites.
His videos primarily consist of gaming content, commentary, and vlogs, which appeal to younger audiences. The accusations against him are significant to us because of his considerable influence.
Officials announced that they will question Rehman further regarding his suspected connections to online gambling sites.
Police are checking to see if he pushed or backed services that are against the law in Pakistan. If the charges prove to be true, harsh legal action may ensue.
Authorities have previously scrutinised individuals in Pakistan who have a large online following.
In recent years, authorities have questioned several content creators for their involvement in promoting unregulated internet businesses.
Authorities say that these kinds of events not only mislead young people but also encourage them to engage in illegal activities.
Different people have had various responses to Ducky Bhai’s arrest on social media.
Some of Ducky Bhai’s fans spoke out in support and thought the arrest was unfair. Others advocate for the accountability of influencers who promote harmful content.
Many people are now waiting to see how the investigation goes.
Rehman is still in custody, but officials say they will provide more information as the investigation continues.
His case brings to light the growing debate in Pakistan about who is responsible for making digital content and how online sites should be regulated.
Rehman holds a prominent position among the YouTubers in Pakistan. The outcome of this case could have a significant impact on other influential individuals in the country.
