Social media personality Chahat Fateh Ali Khan has been issued a legal notice demanding Rs180 million in damages for allegedly defaming the renowned musician Ustad Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan. The notice, sent to Chahat’s residence in the UK by Mian Muhammad Umair Niaz on behalf of Qaiser Munir Khan, requires a response within 15 days to avoid a defamation lawsuit, as reported by Express News.
The notice accuses Chahat of tarnishing Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan’s name, offending the people of Faisalabad, and violating the Copyright Act. It alleges that Chahat falsely claimed to be related to the late musician and harmed his legacy with his singing, which has angered residents of Faisalabad.
In addition to the financial demand, the notice requires Chahat to issue a public apology on social media. Failure to respond or apologize within the specified 15-day period will result in legal action and a defamation suit for Rs180 million.
