Karachi, Pakistan — In a dramatic turn of events, popular social media personalities Ducky Bhai (Saad Ur Rehman) and Aroob Jatoi were arrested earlier today by law enforcement authorities for allegedly uploading a picture of a weapon on their social media accounts.
The image, which quickly went viral, showed a firearm, sparking concerns over the potential implications of the post. The duo, both known for their humorous and controversial online content, faced widespread backlash after the photo’s circulation. The post reportedly violated strict regulations concerning the promotion and display of weapons on social media platforms in Pakistan.
Authorities acted swiftly, with a local police station in Karachi confirming the arrest and stating that an investigation was underway. “We have arrested the individuals for violating the laws regarding the display of weapons in public, which is prohibited under the Prevention of Terrorism Act and other related regulations,” said a senior police official.
Ducky Bhai and Aroob Jatoi, who have a combined following of millions, have yet to publicly comment on the situation. However, fans have flooded social media with a mix of support and condemnation, with many questioning the seriousness of the charges while others argue that it was an irresponsible act that could have severe consequences.
The arrest has sparked a larger debate about the responsibility of social media influencers and the potential risks of posting content that could be misinterpreted or inspire harmful behavior. Legal experts have noted that while the two are facing charges related to weapon displays, their previous actions and online presence will likely be scrutinized further.
As of now, both Ducky Bhai and Aroob Jatoi remain in police custody pending further investigation.
This incident serves as a reminder to social media influencers and the public alike about the importance of adhering to regulations when using digital platforms.
