DUBAI – Pakistani singing sensation Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has been arrested at Dubai airport following complaints filed by his former manager, Salman Ahmed.
Initial reports indicate that Khan was detained at Burj Dubai police station during his stay in the UAE. The singer was visiting the country to perform at various musical events.
Rahat has faced ongoing tensions with his former manager. Salman Ahmed has lodged legal cases against Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in Dubai and other cities.
The spokesperson for the “Zaroori Tha” singer has yet to provide any updates on the cases and legal proceedings.
Earlier, Rahat issued an apology after a viral video showed him violently attacking his personal employee, which sparked public outrage.
The footage shows Rahat Fateh Ali Khan assaulting his household employee while demanding the location of a ‘bottle.’ The servant pleads for mercy as onlookers fail to intervene, highlighting Rahat’s alleged substance abuse issues.
However, the singer downplayed the incident as a personal matter between a ‘mentor and pupil’ and introduced the employee, Naveed Hasnain, and his father in a video message to portray their relationship as respectful.
