TikToker Mr Patlo arrested in Dubai; Rajab Butt reacts, slams 'toxic' fans

One of Pakistan’s most famous TikTokers, Mr Patlo, has reportedly been arrested at Dubai Airport, sparking a wave of speculation across social media. While no official confirmation has been issued yet, digital platforms are flooded with claims that the arrest is linked to a disturbing case involving AI-generated videos.

Mr Patlo was scheduled to attend an exclusive event in Doha, Qatar, hosted by a new Pakistani app called Mate. Multiple influencers and content creators were invited to the event, including Rajab Butt, who personally urged Mr Patlo to join.

“I called him and said, ‘Bro, come to Doha for a day. Let’s do a little show together.’ He refused at first because of the license and meeting issues. But I insisted—and within 10 minutes, he said yes,” Rajab shared emotionally in a video message.

His ticket was booked late at night, and full protocol was arranged at Doha Airport. But the person who went to receive Patlo was left confused, as he never stepped off the plane.

Later, it was revealed that Patlo had been arrested during his layover at Dubai Airport, before he could even board his flight to Qatar.

While details are still unclear, some reports allege that the arrest may be tied to an online dispute that escalated into legal trouble. According to circulating claims, Mr Patlo’s fans reportedly created AI-edited videos targeting a female content creator’s family, sharing them widely on WhatsApp and social media platforms.

It’s alleged that the victim is based in Dubai, which could explain the swift action by UAE authorities. Sources say the person may have filed a formal complaint, leading to Patlo’s arrest.

Rajab Butt, who appeared heartbroken, slammed the toxic behaviour of some so-called fans. “You made vulgar AI videos involving someone’s sister or daughter… and now Patlo is paying the price.”

He defended Patlo fiercely, saying, “I swear by Allah, I don’t know the full story. But he’s my brother, not just a social media face; he’s family to me.”

He urged people to stop playing with lives behind screens. “Patlo is in jail, and you’re sitting comfortably in your homes. Be an artist, not a reason for someone’s downfall.”

Despite the turmoil, Rajab remains hopeful. “InshaAllah, Patlo will be released tomorrow. Everything will be fine.”

Known for his lavish Dubai lifestyle and high earnings from live TikTok sessions, Mr Patlo has amassed a huge fan following in recent years. His sudden arrest has sent shockwaves through the influencer community, raising questions about digital ethics, the misuse of AI, and fan accountability.
