Pakistani influencer Saad Ur Rehman, better known as Ducky Bhai, and his wife Aroob Jatoi, are once again in the spotlight, but this time for a controversial reason. The couple was arrested by Lahore police after a video showcasing a weapon surfaced on social media. The incident sparked outrage and raised serious concerns about the responsible use of firearms and public safety.
Ducky Bhai, a popular YouTuber with over 8.19 million subscribers, found himself embroiled in this legal battle after his wife allegedly displayed the firearm on her Instagram account. Aroob Jatoi, who boasts a large following of around 2.3 million on Instagram, has been at the center of several controversies before. This incident further fueled public scrutiny.
According to a report by Samaa TV on October 8, the couple was also accused of raising anti-government slogans and supporting Imran Khan’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) political party. Displaying firearms on social media platforms is illegal in Pakistan, leading to the authorities taking swift action against the couple.
The Model Town Organized Crime Unit arrested Ducky Bhai and Aroob, citing the potential risks to public safety posed by their actions. Following their arrest, both Ducky Bhai and Aroob issued written apologies to the authorities, leading to their release without any charges. Notably, Ducky Bhai refrained from making any public statements about the situation, opting to remain silent on the matter.
The incident sparked a flurry of reactions on social media, with users expressing a mix of anger, disbelief, and amusement. Some users questioned the legality of the couple’s actions and the rationale behind their arrest. Others drew a connection to the couple’s past statements supporting Imran Khan, the former Prime Minister of Pakistan, who was recently imprisoned.
This episode comes after Aroob’s deepfake video went viral, causing a major scandal for the couple. They made headlines for offering a substantial reward of one million Pakistani rupees to individuals who could identify the person responsible for creating the fake video. This latest incident has once again thrust Ducky Bhai and Aroob into the public eye, highlighting the potential consequences of irresponsible behavior on social media platforms.
