YouTuber Saad-ur-Rehman, known as Ducky Bhai, opened up about the tough challenges he and his family faced during his 100-day ordeal after his arrest and subsequent release in the gambling apps case.
In a vlog posted on his YouTube channel, he narrated the events following his arrest, claiming that NCCIA officials physically and verbally mistreated him and that the Additional Director allegedly instructed a young child to use harsh language against him.
He also alleged financial misconduct, claiming that IO Shoaib Riaz transferred approximately Rs 90 million from his Binance account to his personal account, and when I questioned, the officer did not respond.
Ducky Bhai added that authorities later submitted a false report in court, claiming they had recovered the money from him.
He said his family borrowed a Rs 6 million loan and transferred it to the NCCIA officers as they confiscated his wife Aroob’s phone and threatened to file an FIR against her to extort money.
Despite these allegations, Ducky Bhai also expressed gratitude toward FIA officials who supported his family by interviewing each member and filing the case properly.
He highlighted that his experience showed him that not all institutions are corrupt and that there are good people who serve as a means of justice.
Reflecting on the 100 days in custody, he described the ordeal as extremely challenging, but praised the Lahore High Court for granting him bail, calling it a moment of justice he will always respect.
He refrained from revealing all details of the experience, noting that a full account would have extended the video to four hours.
Addressing rumours about leaving Pakistan, Ducky Bhai clarified that he has no plans to leave the country, saying that after eight years on YouTube, Pakistan has given him everything and he remains committed to staying despite recent challenges.
He also thanked Field Marshal Asim Munir and the Director General of Military Intelligence for their professionalism and support in helping his family navigate the situation and protect them from corrupt elements.
In the video, Ducky Bhai apologised to the nation if his content or promotions had caused any negative impact, emphasising that his goal has always been to entertain and offer something new to his audience.
Ducky Bhai was arrested on August 16 at Lahore airport while travelling abroad over allegations of money laundering through gambling applications.
He was later granted bail by the Lahore High Court against surety bonds of Rs 1 million and released on November 26.
