Pakistani YouTuber Saad ur Rehman, better known as Ducky Bhai, is facing legal troubles. He was taken into custody by law enforcement agencies from Lahore Airport. Ducky Bhai is one of the most famous digital creators in Pakistan. He started his career with roasting videos and later gained popularity through gaming streams and vlogging. He is often in the news for his controversies, feuds, and extravagant lifestyle.
After being picked up, he was presented before court. The judge sent him to jail on remand. On his way back from the hearing, reporters managed to speak with him briefly. This was his first statement after the arrest.
His first apology
Ducky Bhai apologized to the nation. He said he regretted making roasting videos seven years ago. He admitted that those videos hurt people and he should not have made them. He also apologized for promoting a betting app. He explained that he did not know it was linked to gambling. According to him, he saw PSL players wearing jerseys with the app’s logo, so he thought it was safe to endorse. He admitted it was a mistake and asked for forgiveness.
The arrest has sparked a major debate online. Many users are criticizing him for his past actions. One person wrote that he deserves punishment for promoting betting apps. Another said he should be left alone because the same apps were promoted in PSL. Some argued that there should be zero tolerance for such promotions. Others questioned why only influencers are targeted while bigger platforms escape scrutiny.
What’s next?
For now, Ducky Bhai remains in custody. His case is under investigation and will proceed further in court. His apology has softened some opinions, but many people remain divided.
