Court Extends Remand in Online Gambling Case, Ducky Bhai’s Wife Granted Interim Bail
Lahore — The accused in a high-profile online gambling case was produced before the court after completing a four-day physical remand. The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) requested an extension to continue their investigation, a request that Judicial Magistrate Naeem Wattoo approved.
Meanwhile, Aroob Jatoi, the wife of popular YouTuber Saad-ur-Rehman, known online as Ducky Bhai, was granted interim bail by a Lahore sessions court in connection with the same case, which involves the promotion of gambling through online apps.
The court approved her pre-arrest bail, preventing authorities from detaining her until August 30. She has also been directed to cooperate with the ongoing investigation, while the investigating officer is required to submit a progress report by the next hearing. Aroob Jatoi was represented in court by her lawyers, Irfan Kalyat and Raja Abdul Rahman Ranjha.
The case against Ducky Bhai gained attention when the NCCIA revealed that he was allegedly operating as the “country manager” of an illegal gambling app, actively promoting multiple betting platforms.
An FIR was filed following an inquiry launched on June 13, 2025, after reports emerged that several social media influencers were encouraging the public to invest in gambling and betting apps for personal profit. The complaint highlighted that these promotions have caused significant financial losses for ordinary citizens already facing economic challenges.
