Recently, there have been viral posts on social media claiming that Mr Rathee’s “real name” is Badruddin Rashid Lahori and his wife, Julie, is a Pakistani national called Zulaikha. These posts also allege that the couple lives in the underworld don Dawood Ibrahim’s bungalow in Karachi under the protection of the Pakistani military. Mr Rathee, a prominent figure with over 18 million subscribers known for his critical videos on government policies, has been targeted by many of these recent posts. In response to the claims, he stated, “They have no answer to the videos I made so they’re spreading these fake claims.

And how desperate do you have to be to drag my wife’s family into this? You can also see the disgusting moral standard of these IT Cell employees.” Mr Rathee’s YouTube channel has garnered widespread attention for its critiques of various government policies and societal issues.
