Motorway police book popular Pakistani YouTuber ‘Ducky Bhai' for driving with his feet
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan's motorway police have booked popular YouTuber Saadur Rehman, more commonly known as 'Ducky Bhai,' for performing dangerous stunts while driving a car, state-run media reported this week. As per a first information report (FIR) registered at the Chakri police station in Pakistan's eastern city of Rawalpindi on Apr. 19, Rehman uploaded a video from his social media account weeks earlier in which he can be seen driving on the motorway, with his feet resting on the steering wheel while his eyes were closed. 'The National Highways and Motorway Police (NHMP) on Saturday initiated legal action against popular YouTuber Saadur Rehman–popularly known as Ducky Bhai–for performing dangerous stunts while driving on the motorway,' state-run Associated Press of Pakistan (APP) reported. As per the FIR, a case against Rehman has been registered under Article 67 (driving recklessly or dangerously) of the National Highway Safety Ordinance (NHSO) 2000, and Section 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way) of the Pakistan Penal Code. APP said the motorway police registered a case against Rehman after his video went viral on social media, drawing 'heavy criticism' from users who condemned his 'reckless behavior.' 'The video in question clearly shows a driver violating traffic rules and endangering not only his own life but also that of others,' a motorway police spokesperson was quoted as saying by the APP. 'We have taken serious notice of this violation and are proceeding with legal action.' The spokesperson added that the video had been geo-located and verified and that appropriate sections of the law were being invoked in the FIR. Rehman is one of Pakistan's most popular YouTubers. He has uploaded over 750 videos on the video-sharing platform and has amassed over 8.38 million subscribers.
