Authorities detained popular YouTuber Saad ur Rehman, widely known as Ducky Bhai, at Lahore airport, officials confirmed Sunday.
A local court in Lahore handed over YouTuber Ducky Bhai to the National Cyber Crime Agency on a two-day physical remand and sought the investigation report at the next hearing.
