GeoTV reported that defamation through social media is a serious offense in Dubai. In 2019, a Dubai court reportedly sentenced a man to a fine of AED250,000 and six months in jail after he was convicted of defamation and abuse through social media. The convict had posted offensive comments and morphed photos of a man. Earlier this year, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan landed in a controversy when a video of him allegedly slapping a man went viral on social media. In the alleged video, the singer was seen repeatedly hitting the man, who he later revealed to be his student Naved Hasnain.
