NCCIA summons top YouTubers in online gambling scam probe

NCCIA summons top YouTubers in online gambling scam probe

LAHORE: The National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) has summoned several high-profile YouTubers and social media influencers in connection with a major financial scam involving illegal online trading and gambling platforms.

Those summoned include Mudassar Hassan, Muhammad Anas Ali, Iqra Kanwal, and Muhammad Husnain Shah, all of whom have been ordered to appear in person at the NCCIA Lahore office on September 2, 2025.

According to investigators, the influencers played a key role in promoting unregulated betting and trading apps—allegedly luring thousands of young Pakistanis into high-risk financial traps under the guise of investment opportunities. Authorities claim the group helped glamorize the platforms through coordinated social media campaigns, misleading followers and legitimizing illegal operations.

The whistleblower-linked investigation centers around a controversial app called World 777, which is reported to have bankrolled large influencer marketing campaigns to aggressively target Pakistani youth. NCCIA officials believe billions of rupees are siphoned out of the country each month through such apps, contributing to a growing shadow economy and increasing financial vulnerability among citizens.

The list of personalities linked to these campaigns continues to grow, with prominent names such as Mathira, Nadir Ali, Aimen Zaman, Varda Malik, Javeria Aurangzeb, Abeera Khan, Faryal Fairy, and Nauman Kazmi also under scrutiny.

In a related case, a Lahore court has extended the physical remand of YouTuber Saadur Rehman (Ducky Bhai) for an additional four days. Arrested on August 16 at Lahore airport, Ducky Bhai is accused of promoting gambling apps such as Binomo, 1xBet, Bet365, and B9 Game. Investigators have retrieved 27 video links from his accounts endorsing these platforms, many of which have since been deleted.

He faces charges under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) 2016, including electronic fraud and forgery, as well as relevant sections of the Pakistan Penal Code. He will remain in custody until at least September 1 as investigations continue.

Fahad Mustafa Accuses “YouTubers, bloggers” for polluting industry

Fahad Mustafa
  • Fahad Mustafa spoke openly about bloggers and YouTubers.
  • Fahad says that celebrities are reluctant to conduct interviews these days.
  • Fahad discussed his thoughts on interviews.

Pakistani actor and producer Fahad Mustafa spoke openly about his concerns on the impact of bloggers and YouTubers on the entertainment business during an interview with Vasay Chaudhry on Gup Shab. Fahad was unapologetic in his assertion that celebrities are reluctant to conduct interviews these days.

Fahad discussed his thoughts on interviews and the function of bloggers and YouTubers in the entertainment industry throughout the discussion. He noted that, in his opinion, celebrities today exercise great caution while conducting interviews, since certain content makers have a propensity to sensationalize and misinterpret their words in order to produce content for their platforms.

He stated, “I believe that interviews should not be given. “It is not about the person conducting the interview, not even their desire. There are a lot of YouTubers and bloggers that, like parasites, watch everything while deciding what stuff to choose and choose because it is their line of work. Because this is what sells for the poor souls.”

The celebrity then stated “How will it effect them if I say something good? If I say anything bizarre, they’ll print it with a bizarre headline. This is what they do. He continued by voicing his worries that this strategy has had a negative effect on the entertainment sector. Fahad said, “I believe there are six to seven such individuals as a result of whom the industry has become quite polluted, things are quite bad.”

Fahad said, “Your actors are scared, your people don’t want to say anything,” as if to put the last nail in the coffin. This doesn’t seem like a healthy setting to me. In the name of tolerance, you have really become extremely intolerant.

Fahad’s remarks have prompted conversations among fans and in the entertainment business, bringing attention to the continuing argument about how bloggers, YouTubers, and social media influencers affect public opinions and the careers of superstars.

Conversations like the one Fahad started shed light on the difficulties and complexity that come with the rising impact of online content makers as the entertainment business continues to change and adapt to the digital era. The discussion about preserving a safe and open atmosphere for public leaders and artists is still active and crucial.
