LAHORE – Popular Pakistani YouTuber Ducky Bhai, whose real name is Saad-ur-Rahman, was reportedly arrested by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) at Lahore Airport on August 16, 2025. The arrest comes amid allegations of his involvement in online gambling, money laundering, and the distribution of obscene content.
According to reports, authorities obtained digital evidence, including WhatsApp messages and suspicious financial transactions, allegedly connecting Ducky Bhai to illegal betting applications. The NCCIA has launched a detailed probe to uncover the extent of his involvement and identify other individuals linked to the case.
Officials revealed that the arrest followed weeks of digital surveillance and financial tracking, which reportedly exposed several unverified money transfers. Investigators believe these transactions may have been tied to foreign-based gambling platforms operating illegally in Pakistan.
Legal experts suggest that if proven guilty, Ducky Bhai could face severe legal consequences, including up to seven years in prison and fines reaching Rs10 million under Pakistan’s cybercrime and anti-money laundering laws.
Meanwhile, the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has reportedly launched a parallel investigation through its newly established “Lifestyle Monitoring Cell.” The department aims to scrutinize the earnings of social media influencers whose spending patterns appear inconsistent with their declared income sources.
Ducky Bhai, known for his entertaining vlogs, gaming content, and humorous commentary, has a massive fan base in Pakistan and abroad. His arrest has sparked widespread debate on social media, with fans expressing disbelief and calling for transparency in the investigation.
