YouTube Influencer Who Promoted Gambling Sites to Remain in Jail 14 More Days
Social media influencer Ducky Bhai has been placed behind bars on n extended 14-day judicial remand over allegations of promoting illegal gambling apps in Pakistan.
National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) presented influencer before Lahore court after his three-day physical remand ended. During Monday’s proceedings, the magistrate directed investigators to file the case challange at the earliest.
The case was registered by the NCCIA at midnight on August 17, following a complaint about Rehman’s involvement in promoting several gambling platforms, including Binomo, 1xBet, Bet 365, and B9 Game, via his YouTube channel. According to the FIR, Rehman allegedly encouraged the public to invest their money into these platforms, causing financial losses as the apps failed to pay out the promised profits. Bet 365, in particular, is among the world's largest sports betting brands.
This is not Rehman's first run in with the law. He was recently booked by motorway police for performing dangerous driving stunts.
The NCCIA is continuing its investigation and may take further legal action based on the findings of this case. Authorities have already seized Rehman’s phone, which contains evidence of chats and payments related to the promotion of gambling apps.
