Social media sensation Chahat Fateh Ali Khan has been issued a legal notice for defaming legendary musician Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan.
According to reports, the notice was issued by Mian Muhammad Umair Niaz on behalf of Qaiser Munir Khan and sent to Chahat’s residence in the UK. The notice states that if Chahat fails to respond within 15 days, a defamation lawsuit will be filed in court. He has also been demanded Rs180 million in damages.
He has been accused of damaging the name of the legendary singer, offending the people of Faisalabad, and violating the Copyright Act. The notice claims Chahat falsely portrayed himself as a relative of the late musician and damaged Nusrat’s legacy through his singing.
“Chahat’s singing has angered the people of Faisalabad,” the notice adds. The legal notice demands a public apology on social media from Chahat. If he fails to respond or apologise within the 15-day period, legal action and a defamation suit for Rs180 million will be pursued.
