Once inseparable, top Pakistani YouTubers Rajab Butt and Ducky Bhai (Saadur Rehman) were known for appearing in each other’s videos and attending family events together.However, their friendship fell apart after a project dispute and comments involving mutual friend Nadeem Nani Wala, leaving both on non-speaking terms.Last week, Ducky Bhai was arrested by law enforcement agencies in connection with alleged online promotion of betting apps.
He was placed on physical remand while authorities continued their investigation. Judicial Magistrate Naeem Wattoo approved a four-day extension of his remand after the prosecution argued that more time was needed to probe the case. Breaking his silence, Rajab Butt said he understood why Ducky was picked up but questioned the selective enforcement of the law.
“The law should be the same for everyone. We all saw PSL jerseys carrying betting app logos and ads running on national television. Why aren’t agencies going after the big fish?” He further noted that hundreds of influencers may have promoted such apps, yet action is being taken only against a few individuals who are easier to arrest. Despite their fallout, Rajab wished Ducky Bhai and his family well during this difficult time.
