The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) made a bombshell revelation on Monday regarding the case against YouTuber Saad ur Rehman, better known as Ducky Bhai, who was arrested at Lahore Airport on charges of money laundering through online gambling platforms.
According to NCCIA officials, Ducky Bhai had been operating as the country manager for a series of illegal gambling applications. He allegedly promoted popular betting platforms such as Binomo, 1xBet, Bet365, and B9 Game via his YouTube channel.
An FIR has been filed against Ducky Bhai following an inquiry that was launched on June 13, 2025, after credible reports surfaced. The reports indicated that several social media influencers, including Ducky Bhai, were encouraging the public to invest in gambling and betting apps for personal financial gain. The authorities believe this promotion has led numerous ordinary citizens—many of whom are already struggling financially—into heavy monetary losses.
The case has raised significant concerns regarding the growing issue of online fraud and financial exploitation of vulnerable people through social media influence.
