LAHORE:  The Judicial Magistrate of Lahore District Court has ordered the restoration of frozen bank accounts belonging to popular YouTuber Saad Ur Rehman, also known as Ducky Bhai, in a case concerning the promotion of gambling apps. The court also granted him conditional permission to upload videos on his YouTube channel.

The hearing was presided over by Judicial Magistrate Naeem Wattoo, with the accused appearing in court along with his wife Aroob Jatoi and lawyers Barrister Amrit Sheikh and Usman Latif Advocate.

During the proceedings, the court restored Ducky Bhai’s frozen bank accounts and allowed him to continue uploading videos on YouTube, with the stipulation that he must not discuss the pending case on his channel.

The court noted that the National Counter Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) had objections to 27 videos on his channel, but these videos would not be removed at this stage.

The next hearing was scheduled for March 11, when NCCIA witnesses will be summoned.

Following the court proceedings, Ducky Bhai’s legal team presented him with a shield in celebration of reaching 10 million YouTube subscribers inside the courthouse premises.

LAHORE: Popular YouTuber Saad Ur Rehman, known as Ducky Bhai, has publicly apologised to the nation after his arrest and subsequent release in the gambling apps case.

In a video posted on his YouTube channel, Ducky Bhai said, “If anyone feels that my video was intended to justify the FIR filed against me, I sincerely apologise.” He added that if any of his content had a negative impact on viewers, he seeks forgiveness from the entire nation.

The YouTuber emphasised that his goal has always been to entertain and present new content. “If any of my promotions or content caused unintended harm, I also apologise for that,” he stated.

Ducky Bhai expressed his full cooperation with the court, saying he would pursue the legal process until the end and accept whatever decision the judge makes.

He also shared details of his and his family’s ordeal over the past three and a half months, recalling the morning of August 16, 2025, when he was preparing to leave for a foreign event after hosting a gathering at home—unaware of the events that would soon unfold.

Ducky Bhai was arrested on August 17, 2025, at Lahore Airport while attempting to travel abroad, accused of money laundering through gambling apps.

He was granted bail by the Lahore High Court against a bond of PKR 1 million and released on November 26, 2025.
