There were reports that Pakistani singer Rahat Fateh Ali Khan was arrested in Dubai in a defamation case. The singer was allegedly named in a defamation complaint by his former manager. However, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has denied the reports.

The report also claimed that the singer was allegedly detained at the immigration centre and was taken into police custody for questioning.
As soon as the rumours of his arrest went viral, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan released a video on Instagram to clarify that he has not been taken in to police custody.
