Tajikistani singer and social media star Abdu Rozik, known for his appearance on Bigg Boss 16, was detained by UAE authorities at Dubai International Airport on Saturday morning upon arrival from Montenegro. Local officials took him into custody around 5 a.m. on allegations of theft. According to statements released by his management team.
Management Clarifies: Not Arrested, Just Detained
Despite widespread media reports claiming an arrest, Rozik’s management has clarified that he was only detained; he was not formally arrested. They confirmed he provided explanations to authorities and was subsequently released. They also emphasized plans to pursue legal action against misinformation and to protect his image.
Legal Status and Public Reaction
UAE officials have not issued any public statement, and details of the alleged theft remain undisclosed. As of now, it is unclear whether UAE authorities intend to file formal charges. Meanwhile, Rozik’s brief detention has sparked global curiosity. Particularly among his fan base and followers across South Asia and the Middle East.
Who Is Abdu Rozik?
Rozik, 21, gained fame through his viral music, social media content, and participation in Bigg Boss 16 in India. Standing just over three feet tall due to growth hormone deficiency, he has won millions of fans with his charismatic presence. The singer also holds a UAE Golden Visa and lives in Dubai.
This isn’t the first time he made headlines. In 2023, India’s Enforcement Directorate had summoned him for questioning in a money laundering probe, although he was not formally named as an accused. That incident generated significant media attention, setting a precedent for scrutiny.
As the incident unfolds further, anticipation builds around the official narrative and the outcome of any investigations. For now, Abdu Rozik is scheduled to participate in a Dubai award ceremony later in the day, per his team’s statement.
