Popular Pakistani YouTuber Saad ur Rehman, known by his online name Ducky Bhai, has been arrested by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency. The incident took place on Sunday at Lahore’s Allama Iqbal International Airport as he was allegedly trying to leave the country.
According to sources, Ducky Bhai was arrested after his name appeared on the Provisional National Identification List (PNIL), a government watchlist that restricts individuals from international travel due to pending investigations. The authorities confirmed that multiple cybercrime-related inquiries are underway against the content creator.
Ducky Bhai Arrested in Connection With Ongoing Investigations
Initial media reports suggest that Ducky Bhai’s arrest was not random. The Cyber Crime Agency had already flagged his name, and airport immigration was alerted in advance. As he approached the immigration desk, officials took him into custody without incident.
Insiders report that the arrest is tied to a series of investigations regarding online behavior and digital misconduct. The exact nature of the charges remains unclear, but legal experts believe it could involve violations under Pakistan’s Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA).

This isn’t the first time Ducky Bhai has made headlines for legal trouble. In early 2024, he and his wife Aroob Jatoi were briefly detained by CIA police in Lahore’s Model Town after a video surfaced of them displaying a firearm on social media, a move that violated public safety and content moderation guidelines.
Public Reactions and Legal Consequences
Ducky Bhai’s fans are divided, with some defending his actions while others are demanding accountability. The situation has sparked a heated debate online about the influence of digital celebrities and the responsibility they bear when addressing millions of followers.
As of now, the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency has not released an official statement, and the YouTuber’s legal team has yet to respond to media inquiries. If found guilty of any charges, he could face heavy penalties or even jail time, depending on the nature of the violations.
With Ducky Bhai arrested, the spotlight is once again on how seriously Pakistani authorities are taking cyber-related crimes, especially when public figures are involved. More details are expected to emerge in the coming days as the investigation progresses.
