Lahore Court Restores Youtuber Ducky Bhai'S Frozen Bank Accounts

On February 24, 2026, a Lahore judicial magistrate reinstated the frozen bank accounts of popular YouTuber Saadur Rehman, known as Ducky Bhai, allowing him to resume his financial activities after months of restrictions due to allegations of promoting gambling apps on social media. The magistrate, Naeem Wattoo, also granted Ducky Bhai conditional permission to upload videos on his YouTube channel, stating, "He must not discuss the sub-judice matter on his channel." The court noted that the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) had raised objections to 27 videos on his channel, which will remain intact for now. The hearing was adjourned until March 11, 2026, due to the absence of the NCCIA's prosecutor, highlighting procedural delays in the case. Ducky Bhai had previously accused the NCCIA of physical torture during his custody, which adds a layer of complexity to the ongoing legal battle (Dawn, February 24, 2026; Dunya News, February 23, 2026).
