Web desk: Renowned Pakistani YouTuber Rajab Butt and TikToker Nadeem Naniwala were seen exiting the Islamabad High Court (IHC) in a white vehicle without a number plate on Wednesday.
A journalist questioned him about the unregistered vehicle. He asked, “It’s a big deal that your car was allowed to enter inside the High Court.”
To this, Rajab Butt joined his hands. He then responded, gesturing towards the person sitting next to him, saying, “It is his, not mine. I just took a lift.”
The vehicle was reportedly not stopped by police officers at the court premises. Shockingly, the gate was also opened by a police officer to allow them entry.
Unregistered vehicle in Islamabad
Driving a vehicle without a number plate in Islamabad constitutes a violation of the Motor Vehicles Ordinance and is illegal under Pakistani law.
Authorities have previously ordered strict enforcement measures. Warning that vehicles lacking proper, official number plates may be stopped, fined, or seized.
Despite the apparent violation, the two influencers were able to appear before the court.
Both Rajab Butt and Nadeem Naniwala secured a 10-day transit bail from the Islamabad High Court.
According to court sources, the bail was granted to allow them sufficient time to seek legal remedy from the competent court in Lahore.
As per the details, both influencers appeared before the court after they arrived in Pakistan. The court accepted their bail and directed them to approach the concerned court within the next 10 days.
The court earlier ordered them to ensure personal appearance before the court, which they complied with.
After hearing the arguments, the court granted them transit bail to allow them sufficient time to seek legal remedy from the competent court in Lahore.
UK deports Rajab Butt
Previously, the United Kingdom (UK) deported Pakistani YouTuber Rajab Butt after cancelling his visa, sources confirmed on Tuesday.
He reportedly left for Pakistan early in the morning on a flight arranged following the expulsion orders.
Although his visa was valid until 2027, it was revoked after investigators discovered that he had not disclosed pending legal cases against him when applying.
The UK Home Office deemed this a serious violation and ordered him to leave the country immediately.
The action followed an inquiry that began several days earlier, during which Britain’s MI-16 had detained Butt and fellow YouTuber Nadeem Naniwala over anonymous complaints alleging links to terrorism.
Both men were later cleared of any such connections.
Naniwala, a British national, was released. Butt’s documents were sent to the Home Office for further checks.
During this process, authorities identified the active cases he had failed to declare, information that had already been shared by Pakistani institutions.
Following these findings, the UK government issued a notice instructing Butt to leave the country without delay.
