The counsel further explained that Shoaib Riaz had not handed back the investigation file. The court asked how Ducky Bhai managed his YouTube channel, and his lawyer clarified that the main account remains with NCCIA while only the editor account is at issue.
Ducky Bhai’s lawyer also argued that since all electronic devices, including mobile phones, were already in NCCIA custody, the four seized credit cards and cash should also be returned promptly to his client.
