Ducky Bhai Accuses NCCIA of Misconduct After 100 Days in Detention
Ducky Bhai vs. NCCIA: A Deep Dive into the Allegations of Torture and Lack of Transparency
The Pakistani digital landscape was recently rocked by the release of Saad ur Rehman, popularly known as Ducky Bhai, after a 100-day legal ordeal. While his arrest over the promotion of gambling apps was already a trending topic, his post-release revelations have shifted the conversation from digital ethics to the fundamental human rights of detainees. In a raw and candid podcast appearance, the YouTuber leveled serious allegations against the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA), painting a grim picture of what happens behind closed doors.
The Context of the Arrest: Gambling Apps and the Law
To understand the weight of Ducky’s allegations, one must look at the catalyst for his detention. The FIA and NCCIA launched a crackdown on social media influencers accused of promoting betting platforms, which are illegal under Pakistani law. Ducky Bhai, being the most prominent name in the industry, became the face of this investigation.
However, the narrative changed upon his release. Ducky didn’t just discuss the legalities of the case; he focused on the systemic failures and alleged abuse of power within the agency that held him for over three months.
Allegations of Physical Violence and Systematic Abuse
One of the most shocking claims made by Ducky Bhai involves the use of violence within the investigation centers. He explicitly questioned why these government offices lack basic surveillance.
- The CCTV Question: Ducky asked a pointed question that resonated with the public: “Why are there no CCTV cameras in the NCCIA offices?” He alleged that the absence of cameras is intentional, providing a “blind spot” where officials can purportedly use physical force without leaving a digital trail.
- The Culture of Fear: He described an environment designed to intimidate not just the accused, but anyone associated with them. By claiming that violence is a common tool for interrogation, he has called into question the standard operating procedures of the agency.
Targeted Harassment of Supporters and Peers
Perhaps the most emotional part of Ducky’s testimony involved the treatment of his friends and fellow content creators who attempted to offer him support during his time in the “dark.”
1. The Case of Nadeem Nani Wala According to Ducky, Nadeem Nani Wala—a fellow influencer—showed up to offer help and solidarity. Instead of being treated as a visitor or a witness, Ducky claims his mobile phone was confiscated by officials without proper legal justification, serving as a deterrent for others to stay away.
2. The Exploitation of Areeb (Iqra Kanwal’s Husband) Ducky highlighted the plight of Areeb, the husband of prominent YouTuber Iqra Kanwal. He alleged that Areeb was subjected to “exploitation” and “ill-treatment.” He further noted that these details only surfaced after an internal investigation or observation by a “Big Brother” figure (referring to senior oversight or an influential mediator), which corroborated the mistreatment.
3. Threats to Family The YouTuber did not mince words when discussing his family. He alleged that his family members were threatened during his 100-day detention, a tactic he claims was used to break his spirit and force compliance during the investigation process.
The Demand for Accountability: A Call for Reform
Ducky Bhai’s response wasn’t just a list of grievances; it was a demand for institutional change. He has become a vocal advocate for the following reforms:
- Mandatory Audio-Visual Recording: He argued that every inch of an investigation agency’s office should be under 24/7 surveillance to ensure that “third-degree” interrogation methods are eliminated.
- Transparency in Evidence Handling: He criticized the haphazard way personal devices (like phones and laptops) are seized from people who aren’t even primary suspects in a case.
- Legal Protections for Influencers: As he nears the 10 million subscriber mark, Ducky is using his platform to highlight that influencers, despite their public profiles, deserve the same due process and dignity as any other citizen.

Conclusion
The saga of Ducky Bhai is more than just a celebrity gossip piece; it is a landmark moment for Pakistan’s digital community. While the promotion of gambling apps remains a serious legal concern that must be addressed, the allegations of torture and lack of transparency within the NCCIA cannot be ignored.
By demanding CCTV cameras and audio recording in interrogation rooms, Ducky Bhai has pivoted from being a “roaster” to a “whistleblower” regarding the conditions of the Pakistani penal system. As he moves toward his 10-million-subscriber goal, the shadow of these 100 days will likely influence his content and his advocacy for years to come.
