In Lahore, details have come forward of the case registered against National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) Additional Director Chaudhry Sarfraz and other officers. This case was registered on the complaint of famous YouTuber Saad-ur-Rehman, known as Ducky Bhai’s wife, Aroob Jatoi, in which serious allegations of bribery are included.
According to the FIR, a total of 9 million rupees bribe was taken from Ducky Bhai’s family. Investigation officer Shoaib Riaz allegedly received 6 million rupees through his frontman in exchange for giving relief to the YouTuber, which was paid by Ducky Bhai’s close friend Usman. Afterwards, Shoaib Riaz received an additional 3 million rupees bribe so that Ducky Bhai’s judicial remand could be arranged.
The FIR also states that Shoaib Riaz placed 5 million rupees with a car showroom owner through a frontman, while he kept 2 million rupees with himself, and out of this, 500,000 rupees were given to Additional Director Chaudhry Sarfraz. The case states that the accused misused their authority and tried to influence the legal process by taking bribes.
It is clear that yesterday the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA), while conducting an operation in Lahore, arrested four officers including NCCIA Additional Director Chaudhry Sarfraz.
Ducky Bhai has been in NCCIA custody since August 20, and he is accused of being connected with an international online gambling network and promoting gambling apps on social media in exchange for large sums of money. His bail applications have been judicially rejected, due to which he is still in jail on judicial remand.
