Popular Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has refuted all the circulating reports claiming his arrest at Dubai Airport. Through the latest video message on the Instagram handle, the singer set the record straight by saying: “Everything is fine” and also appealed to fans for not paying any heed to such false reports.

The report further claimed that the singer was taken to the Burj Dubai police station after the arrest.
The reports further said that Rahat was arrested in Dubai on Monday 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 filed cases against each other.
Moving on in the latest turn of events, In the video message, the singer said, “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 adds.
Rahat continues, “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”.
It is important to mention that, 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.
