According to the FIR filed by cybercrime investigators, Ducky Bhai allegedly used his substantial online influence to promote betting apps across social media platforms. The charges include money laundering and enticing followers to participate in unlawful investment schemes and gambling activities prohibited under Pakistani law. During the arrest, NCCIA officials confiscated mobile phones and reportedly uncovered suspicious WhatsApp contacts along with other digital evidence suggesting involvement with gambling networks.

Authorities have launched a comprehensive probe into Ducky Bhai’s financial assets to trace potential proceeds from the alleged illegal activities. Investigators claim to have discovered evidence of unauthorized financial transactions linked to online gambling operations. The case has drawn significant attention as it tests Pakistan’s evolving cybercrime enforcement mechanisms against high-profile digital influencers. While the bail provides temporary relief to the YouTuber, the court proceedings continue as authorities pursue their investigation into the serious charges of financial crimes and unlawful content promotion.
