YouTuber Saad-ur-Rehman, popularly known as Ducky Bhai, has been released from Lahore's Camp Jail after the court reviewed his bail documents and confirmed compliance with requirements.
Earlier, a local court in Lahore had ordered the immediate release of Ducky Bhai. Judicial Magistrate Naeem Wattoo issued the warrant, directing that the accused be released right away if he is not involved in any other case.
Rehman faces allegations of illegally promoting a gambling application, a case that was registered by the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA). The YouTuber had been taken into custody following his arrest at Lahore Airport on August 17.
The NCCIA’s case centers on claims that the influencer used his online platform to endorse the app, prompting authorities to open a criminal inquiry.
LHC already granted bail
Before the release warrant, the Lahore High Court had granted Saad-ur-Rehman bail after his arrest. The district court’s issuance of the warrant follows that earlier decision, finalizing the procedural steps required to secure his release.

Court officials confirmed that all bail bonds had been fully examined prior to the issuance of the order.
What happens next
With the warrant now issued, Saad-ur-Rehman is expected to walk free unless law enforcement identifies any additional pending cases. The development marks a significant step in the legal proceedings against the YouTuber, though the NCCIA’s investigation into the gambling app allegations remains ongoing.
A day ago, Ducky Bhai's release was delayed. The Lahore court's release order could not be issued on Tuesday as the allocated judicial time expired, according to Ducky Bhai’s lawyer.
Barrister Amrit Sheikh explained that verifying and processing the release order takes time. “We made every effort today, but the release order could not be finalized,” the lawyer added.
The Lahore High Court had approved Saad-ur-Rehman’s bail on Monday, but procedural formalities caused the delay in his release.
