The feud between Khan and Ahmed has been brewing for the past few months, culminating in Ahmed’s dismissal from his position. Following his termination, Ahmed filed a formal complaint against the singer in Dubai. Khan, who had been in the city for several days to perform at a musical event, was apprehended by the Burj Dubai Police.
The controversy doesn’t end there. A video from January 2024 recently resurfaced and went viral, showing Rahat Fateh Ali Khan allegedly beating his servant. The singer later issued an apology for the incident, but it has certainly added to his legal woes.
As the story unfolds, fans and followers of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan are keenly watching to see how these legal proceedings will affect his career and reputation.
