A petition has been filed in a Lahore sessions court against YouTuber Rajab Butt for allegedly using derogatory language about the companions of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in a social media video.

 

According to reports, the petition was submitted by a citizen, Shehzada Adnan, through his counsel Mudassar Chaudhry. The petitioner claimed that one of Rajab Butt’s videos contained remarks that were disrespectful and offensive.

 

The plea stated that the National Cyber Crime Investigation Agency (NCCIA) had previously been approached to register a case, but no FIR was filed. The court has now been requested to direct the NCCIA to formally register a case against the YouTuber.

 

An Additional Sessions Judge has issued notices and sought a response on the matter.

 

This is not the first time Rajab Butt has found himself embroiled in legal trouble.

 

Earlier this month, Dolphin Force officials stopped Butt's car in Lahore as part of a campaign against vehicles with black tinted windows across the city. During a routine check at Thokar Niaz Baig, a team led by DSP Mubashir Awan removed black paper from his car windows for violating traffic rules.

 

A Dolphin Force spokesperson said similar operations are being carried out city-wide to ensure compliance, while SP Arslan Zahid added that thousands of vehicles have already faced action and warned citizens to follow traffic laws.

 

In the past six to seven months, Rajab Butt has frequently landed in the headlines. In May, a video allegedly showing him and his associates assaulting a young man went viral. The victim later filed a request for legal action at Satu Katla Police Station, but Butt issued an apology, calling the incident a misunderstanding. The matter was later settled after the victim accepted the apology and withdrew the complaint.

 

In another case, an FIR was filed against Butt and his cousin Salman Haider. Haider was accused of rape, blackmail, and unlawful confinement, while Rajab Butt was alleged to have assisted in detaining the complainant and her sister. Butt was granted bail in that case, and the interim bail of co-accused Salman Haider was also extended by the court.

 

The YouTuber has previously left the country after a backlash for naming his perfume “295,” referencing the penal code section related to blasphemy, a highly sensitive issue in Pakistan.

 

In January, he was arrested just one day after his wedding for illegally possessing a lion cub and displaying weapons.

 

The YouTuber has also faced heavy trolling online when he, along with fellow YouTubers Ducky Bhai and Nadeem Nani Wala, launched an online course-selling website, which fans mocked since similar content is freely available on YouTube.

 

Most recently, after posting the controversial video, Rajab Butt shared an Instagram story while travelling by plane, saying, “If you want to become famous, do it outside Pakistan.”
