Lahore, 17 August 2025 – The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has arrested renowned Pakistani YouTuber Saad-ur-Rehman , popularly known as Ducky Bhai , at Lahore Airport. The arrest follows ongoing investigations into multiple criminal allegations, with his name appearing on the official PNIL (Person Not In List) watchlist. Reports indicate he attempted to flee the country but was apprehended before departure.
Authorities have launched a full-scale investigation against Ducky Bhai for various undisclosed charges. His inclusion on the PNIL list triggered immediate action to prevent his escape, resulting in his arrest at the airport.
Weapons Display Incident (October 2024) : Ducky Bhai and his wife, Aroob Jatoi , were briefly detained by the Lahore Model Town Organized Crime Unit after Aroob appeared in a social media post displaying a firearm. The couple issued written apologies, deleted the content, and were released without formal charges.
Traffic Violation (April 2025) : The National Highways & Motorway Police filed a case against Ducky Bhai for dangerous driving. A video surfaced showing him driving on a motorway with his feet on the steering wheel, eyes closed. A FIR was lodged under sections related to reckless driving.
Investigations suggest Ducky Bhai attempted to leave Pakistan in an effort to evade legal proceedings. However, his name being flagged on the PNIL list enabled airport authorities to intercept and arrest him before departure.
The NCCIA continues its probe into the allegations. Legal proceedings are expected to follow, potentially involving additional details of the charges, court appearances, and a possible hearing.
