Was Rahat Fateh Ali Khan arrested in Dubai? Singer responds to the rumors

The singer updated his fans

In the clip stated, “I have come to Dubai to record my songs. All the work on my songs is going great. Everything is fine here”.

“I am just requesting my fans not to trust any rumours which are emerging. Aisa kuch nahi hai. I am working on several songs, and will be back with a superhit song soon which will take over the world. There is wrong news and rumours about me being spread, I am requesting each one of you not to trust that,” he added.

Rahat further mentioned, “Don’t waste your time on such rumours being spread by my enemies. Keep your trust in me. You are my power. My audience and my fans are my power. I love you all”.

More about the case

Rahat was reportedly detained at the Dubai airport earlier in the day following multiple complaints made against him by Salman Ahmed, his former manager.

Rahat was reportedly detained in Dubai on Monday due to a defamation lawsuit filed by his former manager, according to Geo TV, which claimed the singer was there for a musical partnership. A few months prior, Rahat had fired his manager due to an argument. Following that, the two had issued lawsuits against one another.

The controversy surrounding Rahat began earlier this year when a video purportedly showing him slapping someone went viral on social media. Rahat was seen repeatedly hitting and slapping the man, who he later identified as his protege Naveed Hasnain, with a slipper while asking, “Where is my bottle?”
