Abdu Rozik: 'ED did not summon me; went as a witness for a money laundering case related to a business partner

Tajikistani singer Abdu Rozik and his close friend Shiv Thakare have recently made headlines after being summoned by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) regarding a money laundering case linked to Ali Asghar Shirazi's Hustlers' Hospitality.

Abdu took to social media to clarify the situation, asserting that he visited the ED as a witness due to his association with a business partner involved in the case. He posted a video on his YouTube channel, urging caution among celebrities when choosing their business partners and revealing potential scams.

Abdu emphasized on live instagram yesterday, "I want to clarify that I am not under investigation or have been arrested. I was asked to provide testimony as a witness in a case involving a former business associate. I had no prior knowledge of Ali Asghar Shirazi, and Krunal Oza should have disclosed his history to me. It's distressing to be implicated in something due to someone else's actions and connections. There should be legal measures in place to shield celebrities from being exploited through the unauthorized use of their name or likeness in brand endorsements."

Abdu Rozik, known as a Tajikistani singer and social media influencer, gained recognition in India after participating in reality shows like Bigg Boss 16 (2022) and making a guest appearance on Fear Factor: Khatron Ke Khiladi 13 (2023) on Colors TV. Despite the scrutiny surrounding the money laundering case, Abdu aims to maintain transparency and caution others in the industry about the risks associated with their professional connections.
