Has a verdict been announced for Ducky Bhai?

WEB DESK: Earlier this week, a local court summoned YouTuber Saad-ur-Rehman — popularly known as Ducky Bhai — along with his wife and co-accused Aroob Jatoi, and his manager Subhan, in a case related to the alleged promotion of an online gambling app.

The hearing was held at the District Courts (Zila Kachehri) before Judicial Magistrate Naeem Wattoo, where Ducky Bhai appeared in person.

While no verdict has been announced, the court adjourned further proceedings till November 3, putting to rest the social-media rumours claiming that he had been sentenced to seven years in prison and fined PKR 10 million.

Last month the local court rejected the post-arrest bail plea of Rehman, Judicial Magistrate Wattoo had announced the decision after hearing both sides. The defence argued that the case was politically motivated and lacked evidence, while the prosecution maintained that Rehman had earned millions through the apps. Arrested by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) on August 17, Ducky Bhai remains in judicial custody as the court ordered the investigation to continue.
