The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has concluded that there is no evidence linking renowned singer Ustad Rahat Fateh Ali Khan to money laundering, tax evasion, or any illegal activities.
The investigation was closed due to a lack of proof of wrongdoing, as stated by the Additional Director of FIA’s Lahore Zone.
The inquiry began in January, focusing on frequent travelers from Lahore International Airport. Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s name was included in the list, but the available records did not reveal any involvement in illegal currency smuggling.
The singer’s former manager had raised concerns about his earnings, but sources confirm that Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has paid taxes on time and is in compliance with the laws.
The FIA, in consultation with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR), issued a clean chit after verifying the singer’s up-to-date tax records. Despite previous notices from the FBR, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan’s accountants cleared all dues.
