Six of them were arrested earlier.
Seven officers from Pakistan’s National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) have reportedly resigned after being accused of corruption in the Ducky Bhai case.
According to official sources, the officers’ resignation letters have been forwarded to the Ministry of Interior by the newly appointed Director General, Khurram Ali.
Approval for their dismissal is expected later this week as investigations continue into one of the most shocking corruption scandals in the agency’s history.
Reports suggest that internal investigations by the FIA and intelligence agencies uncovered suspicious ties between several NCCIA officers and Ducky Bhai.
Following his arrest, some of the officials allegedly accepted a large bribe to offer him relief in his ongoing case.
Sources claim that one of the accused transferred over £200,000 from the YouTuber’s account into his own before dividing the amount among other officers.
The controversy deepened when multiple officers involved in the case suddenly disappeared.
This included Assistant Director Chaudhry Sarfraz Ahmed and Deputy Director Zawar Ahmed.
Others reportedly missing include Director of Operations Muhammad Usman, Assistant Director Mujtaba Zafar, Shoaib Riaz, and Sub-Inspectors Ali Raza and Yasir Ramzan.
The scandal came to light after Ducky Bhai’s wife, Aroob Jatoi, filed an official complaint, prompting the registration of a case against nine NCCIA officials.
Six of them were arrested earlier and presented before a local court in Islamabad.
The FIA confirmed that approximately Rs 42.5 million had been recovered from the accused during the initial stages of the inquiry.
Court documents revealed that Assistant Director Shoaib Riaz allegedly received Rs 9 million through intermediaries in exchange for “facilitating” Ducky Bhai’s judicial process.
According to Aroob Jatoi’s statement, the bribe money was later distributed among senior officers.
She further claimed that the officials also transferred money from Ducky Bhai’s Binance accounts without authorisation.
Sources indicate that investigators suspect the accused officers of being involved in broader corruption networks.
This includes providing protection to illegal call centres and online fraud operations.
It is alleged that sub-inspectors under their supervision would hand over half of the proceeds from these schemes to senior officials.
Authorities have confirmed that further arrests may follow as the inquiry continues under the supervision of the Ministry of Interior.
For now, the government’s decision to accept the officers’ resignations is seen as an attempt to contain the growing controversy.
However, public confidence in the cybercrime agency has been severely shaken, with many demanding a full, transparent investigation into the scandal.
