During the hearing, the NCCIA investigating officer requested that the accused’s mobile phone be subjected to forensic examination. The court granted the request, allowing time for the forensic process to be completed.
Aroob Jatoi’s lawyers, Usman and Aftab, citing delays in obtaining the forensic report, requested that the next hearing be scheduled after Ramazan. The court approved the request.
Ducky Bhai, one of Pakistan’s most-subscribed YouTubers with over 800 videos and more than 10 million subscribers, was arrested on August 17, 2025, after the NCCIA registered a case against him.
He was detained at Lahore Airport while attempting to leave the country, and his name was placed on the Provisional National Identification List (PNIL). The FIR was lodged under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act, 2016, and relevant sections of the Pakistan Penal Code.
