Controversial Pakistani YouTubers Rajab Butt and Nadeem Nani Wala returned to Islamabad after being deported from the United Kingdom, setting off massive buzz both online and at the airport.
The pair arrived on British Airways flight BA-2161, sharing selfies and constant updates from aboard the plane, which quickly went viral across social media platforms.
Upon landing, the scene at Islamabad International Airport turned chaotic as a large crowd of TikTokers, fans, and influencers rushed into the arrival lounge to welcome them, transforming the area into a fan-filled spectacle.
Airport officials confirmed that immigration procedures were completed swiftly, after which the duo departed for home under intense public and media attention.

The legal situation surrounding the influencers remains tense. Just a day earlier, the Islamabad High Court granted them protective bail in ongoing gambling app and cybercrime investigations, instructing authorities not to arrest them immediately upon arrival.
Justice Inaam Ameen Minhas heard the petition, during which their lawyer Ahed Khokhar argued that both individuals were returning voluntarily to face the charges and required protection from sudden arrest. The court accepted the plea and ordered the YouTubers to appear before the IHC in person.
The controversy intensified when the UK government canceled Rajab Butt’s visa—valid until 2027—and deported him. The British Home Department officially notified him in writing about the revocation.
Rajab Butt has stated that he plans to challenge the decision and will file an appeal against the UK Home Department’s action.
