LAHORE – Popular YouTuber Ducky Bhai, whose real name is Saad ur Rehman, has been sent to jail on a 14-day judicial remand. The move comes amid allegations of promoting illegal gambling apps in Pakistan.
The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) presented Ducky Bhai before the Lahore court after his three-day physical remand ended. The magistrate directed investigators to file the case challan as soon as possible.
Authorities claim that Ducky Bhai promoted gambling platforms including Binomo, 1xBet, Bet365, and B9 Game. Reports suggest he also worked as a country manager for one app, allegedly earning significant payouts by attracting millions of fans.
The influencer faces multiple charges under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016, and the Pakistan Penal Code. These include digital forgery, fraud, spamming, spoofing, cheating, and dishonest inducement. If proven guilty, Ducky Bhai could face severe penalties.
The scandal has sent shockwaves across Pakistan’s social media community. Several other influencers, including Sistrology’s Iqra Kanwal, Muhammad Anas Ali, Hasnain Shah, Mudasar Hasan, and viral star Nadeem Nani Wala, have also been summoned by investigators.
NCCIA stressed that this case is more than careless advertising. They allege full involvement in financial scams, highlighting growing concerns over the influencer economy in Pakistan.
Fans of Ducky Bhai and other social media personalities have expressed mixed reactions online. Many are stunned by the allegations, while others demand stricter accountability for influencers endorsing potentially illegal platforms.
With investigations ongoing, authorities continue to monitor the digital space closely. The case underscores the legal responsibilities of influencers and the growing scrutiny of online promotions in Pakistan.
