Singer, influencer, and Bigg Boss 16 contestant, Abdu Rozik, was arrested at Dubai International airport on Saturday on the 'allegations of theft'. His team confirmed it to Khaleej Times. Reportedly, Abdu was detained by authorities at around 5 am on Saturday. He had flown down to Dubai from Montenegro.
The authorities have not shared any official statement about it, nor has the specific nature of the complaint been disclosed. The organisation that is representing Abdu, told the portal, “All we can say is that we are aware he has been taken into custody on allegations of theft." They declined to give any further details.
Who Is Abdu Rozik?
Abdu is from Tajikistan, but he holds a UAE Golden Visa, and he has also lived in Dubai for several years. As a child, Rozik was diagnosed with dwarfism, so even at the age of 21, his height is just 3 feet and 1 inch.
While he had become famous through his songs, in India, Abdu became a household name after his stint in Salman Khan's show Bigg Boss 16. In 2022, he also launched a song titled Chota Bhaijaan as a tribute to Salman. This was his first Hindi song.
Abdu's last appearance on television was in Laughter Chefs season 2. The singer was seen as the partner of Elvish Yadav. However, he left the show midway because of Ramzan and was replaced by Karan Kundra. There were reports that Abdu might come back to the show, but that didn't happen, and now, Laughter Chefs 2 is all set to end soon.
In 2024, he debuted in boxing at Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena and started his restaurant brand Habibi in the UK.
Abdu Rozik Controversy
This is not the first time, Abdu has made it to the news for a wrong reason. In 2024, he was summoned by India’s Enforcement Directorate for questioning in relation to a money laundering investigation involving a hospitality company. Although Abdu was not identified as a suspect, he had become the talk of the town at that time.
