About the reports
Earlier in the day, it was reported that Rahat was arrested at Dubai airport after several complaints were registered against him by his former manager Salman Ahmed. The report further claimed that the O Re Piya singer was taken to the Burj Dubai police station after the arrest.
Geo TV stated Rahat was on Monday arrested in Dubai over a defamation complaint by his former manager, saying that the singer was in Dubai for a musical collaboration. Rahat had fired his manager a few months ago following a dispute. After that, the duo had filed cases against each other.
Earlier this year, Rahat found himself at the centre of a controversy after a video of him allegedly slapping a person went viral on social media. In the purported video, Rahat was reportedly seen seen repeatedly hitting and slapping the man, whom he later identified as his protege Naveed Hasnain, with a slipper asking “Where is my bottle?”
Later, the singer, known for songs such as Mann ki Lagan and Jiya Dhadak Dhadak, issued a clarification through a series of videos on Instagram. He said the viral video was an “internal matter” between a master and his disciple. (HT)
