Rahat Fateh Ali Khan reportedly arrested at Dubai Airport

Pakistani singing sensation Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has been reportedly 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, where he had traveled to perform at various musical events.

The arrest stems from ongoing tensions and legal battles with his former manager. Salman Ahmed has lodged multiple legal cases against Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in Dubai and other cities. The details of these cases and the legal proceedings remain unclear, as the singer's spokesperson has yet to provide an update.

Earlier, Rahat faced public outrage after a viral video showed him violently attacking his personal employee. In the footage, Rahat is seen assaulting his household employee while demanding the location of a ‘bottle.’ The servant's pleas for mercy went unheeded as onlookers failed to intervene, highlighting Rahat’s alleged substance abuse issues.

In response to the backlash, Rahat issued an apology but downplayed the incident as a personal matter between a ‘mentor and pupil.’ He introduced the employee, Naveed Hasnain, and his father in a video message to portray their relationship as respectful and amicable.

Despite his efforts to mitigate the situation, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan continues to face significant legal and public relations challenges. His arrest in Dubai marks a new chapter in the ongoing saga, with fans and the public awaiting further developments.
