YouTuber Ducky Bhai and Wife Detained Over Weapon Display in Vlog
Popular YouTuber Saad Ur Rehman, known as Ducky Bhai, and his wife, Aroob Jatoi, were briefly detained by the CIA police in Lahore’s Model Town after they displayed a weapon during a social media vlog. They were released later that night after removing the controversial content, and no formal charges were filed against them.
Ducky Bhai has gained significant popularity, boasting over eight million subscribers on his YouTube channel. He is also known for his gaming channel, Ducky Extra, which has more than two million subscribers. The vlogger has a history of stirring controversy, such as a Twitter dispute in August 2020 regarding a woman who draped a Pakistani flag around her dog. Despite these incidents, he remains a fan favorite and won the Pakistan International Screen Award (PISA) for YouTuber of the Year in November 2021.
This incident comes amid heightened scrutiny over the display of firearms on social media platforms. Following orders from Punjab Inspector General Dr. Usman Anwar, law enforcement has been instructed to take strict legal action against individuals showcasing weapons online and engaging in celebratory gunfire. The police emphasized the need for accountability for those displaying weapons in TikTok videos in a statement issued on August 8.
Ducky Bhai is not the only individual to face consequences for displaying weapons online. In 2022, a TikTok user named Muhammad Shahroz was arrested for a similar offense, reflecting a growing trend of legal action against such behavior on social media platforms.
