NHMP takes action against Ducky Bhai for driving without hands, eyes closed

LAHORE: The National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) has decided to take strict action against popular Pakistani YouTuber Saad Ur Rehman, widely known as Ducky Bhai, after a video of him performing a dangerous stunt on a highway went viral on social media.

In the video, Ducky Bhai can be seen driving in auto mode with his legs placed on the steering wheel and his eyes closed, a move widely condemned by social media users as highly irresponsible and reckless. The video sparked outrage online, with many calling on the motorway police to take immediate action against the influencer.

According to an NHMP spokesperson, a case has been registered against Ducky Bhai on multiple charges, including reckless driving, negligence and over-speeding. The police have also released an explanatory video through their official social media platforms, addressing the matter and highlighting the legal consequences of such behaviour.

This is not the first time Ducky Bhai has come under fire for risky stunts. However, the seriousness of the current police response indicates that authorities are no longer willing to tolerate violations of traffic laws, even by social media celebrities.
