LAHORE: The Sessions Court Lahore on Thursday rejected the bail plea of YouTuber Saad-ur-Rehman alias Ducky Bhai in a case related to the promotion of illegal online gambling apps.
Additional Sessions Judge Sajida Chaudhry had earlier reserved the verdict after hearing arguments from both sides.
The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) had registered a case against him, alleging his involvement in the promotion of gambling applications.
During the hearing, Ducky Bhai’s lawyer presented his position in the court and said that there is not a single witness in this case, neither has any notice been issued to his client nor has any app been recovered from him.
The lawyer said that if these apps were illegal, then the PTA or the relevant agency should have blocked them first. The 2020 CR Rule also tells them that if such illegal apps are running, then they should be shut down.
The NCCIA claims to have recovered evidence of unlawful payments linked to online gambling promotions. Investigators accuse the YouTuber of misleading the public through his platforms and of engaging in money laundering activities.
Officials also revealed that a smartphone seized from him contained suspicious WhatsApp numbers, data, and payment records tied to gambling-related promotions.
