Naveed Hasnain, a pupil of Rahat, explained the event by saying that the singer beat him up because he had misplaced a glass of water that the singer had received from his spiritual instructor. 


Rejecting the rumours surrounding the event, Hasnain asserted that he is Rahat's pupil and that his guru is capable of beating him. He added that the allegations about the event doing the rounds on social media were untrue. 

Rahat addressed the event and maintained that it was a simple disagreement between a teacher and a student. He added that when a pupil did well, a teacher would reward him; when he did poorly, the instructor would penalise him. 

Rahat was seen urging Hasnain to inform him about the missing bottle while slapping and hitting him with a shoe in the viral footage. In the video, there are other individuals as well, but nobody tries to save Hasnain from the singer.
