Popular Pakistani YouTuber Rajab Butt, who commands an audience of over 8 million subscribers, has returned to Pakistan after the United Kingdom cancelled his visa, which had been valid until 2027. The influencer had been staying in the UK amid ongoing legal cases in Pakistan, but he was reportedly deported and landed back in the country last night.
Rajab Butt arrived along with fellow content creator Nadeem Nani Wala. Both were welcomed at the airport by their legal team and several officials.
Speaking to the media upon his arrival, Rajab Butt confirmed that his visa had indeed been cancelled by UK authorities. When asked whether a “Big Brother” figure would support him the way Ducky Bhai was allegedly assisted, he declined to comment and said the matter would be addressed by his lawyer. He added that he hopes for the restoration of his UK visa and intends to follow all legal procedures while cooperating with Pakistani authorities.
The situation gained further attention when former politician and academic Shahbaz Gill claimed in a vlog that Rajab Butt’s deportation was part of a broader arrangement. According to him, Butt was sent back to Pakistan through an understanding with security agencies, and his issues with the FIA and intelligence officials had already been settled.
Meanwhile, Rajab Butt’s fans have been expressing concern over his legal troubles and are hopeful for a positive resolution. Many viewers say they miss his content on YouTube. However, not everyone was impressed with his public statements; one social media user questioned the timing of his remarks, asking whether it was necessary for him to highlight his “business class seat” during such circumstances.
