Unidentified men opened fire outside the residence of popular YouTuber Rajab Butt, leaving a pet dog dead and sparking security concerns among his fans and followers.

According to Rajab Butt, the incident occurred two nights ago when four men in a white Suzuki Cultus with Karachi number plates arrived at his house and fired two shots using a pistol fitted with a silencer. One of the bullets struck a dog sitting at the doorstep.

“I can’t take this lightly,” said Butt during a video interview. “I know I have a massive following, and anyone could be carrying a weapon. No one has ever threatened me directly, but this kind of act cannot be ignored.”

At the time of the incident, Butt was not at home. However, his mother, sister, and security guard were present on the premises. He received a call from his mother and immediately informed the police. Officers from Chung police station arrived at the scene within seven minutes and collected evidence, including CCTV footage from the area.

An FIR has been registered against unknown individuals, and an investigation is underway. The YouTuber refrained from naming any suspects but hinted that the motive might be harassment rather than a targeted attempt on his life. “Some people just want to disturb and scare me. Maybe they thought firing in the air would do that,” he added.

As of now, no arrests have been made. Police are analyzing CCTV footage for leads. The case remains open.

This isn’t the first time Rajab Butt has been in the news recently.  A few days ago, a video of a street fight on Thokar Niaz Baig Road went viral, with social media users alleging Butt was involved. Viewers claimed the man seen fighting inside and outside a car was Rajab Butt, allegedly accompanied by fellow content creators Shazi, Musa, and Haider. However, Butt later reached a settlement with the affected party, and the matter was resolved peacefully. He was granted bail in the case.
