Tajik singer and social media sensation Abdu Roziq is reportedly facing a travel ban. This follows his release on bail on Sunday after being detained at Dubai International Airport on Saturday over alleged theft charges.

According to media reports, the 21-year-old was detained shortly after arriving in Dubai from Montenegro. Reports citing sources claimed, “Roziq has been released on bail, but has been banned from traveling abroad.” This claim, however, has not yet been confirmed by Dubai authorities.

Dubai Police and the Dubai Media Office have both declined to comment on the matter, and no official statement has been issued as of Sunday afternoon.

Interestingly, Roziq later posted a video on Instagram showing himself receiving an award at the India International Influencers Awards (IIIA) held at the Hyatt Regency Dubai Creek Heights Hotel on July 12.

Abdu Roziq, who rose to global fame through his appearance on the 16th season of India’s reality show Bigg Boss, stands just over 3 feet tall due to a hormone deficiency and is one of the region’s most recognisable young stars. He holds a UAE Golden Visa and has lived in Dubai for several years, gaining widespread popularity through his music, viral videos, and appearance on Bigg Boss 16.

In 2024, Roziq made headlines for fighting his first boxing match at Dubai's Coca-Cola Arena and launching his restaurant “Habibi” in the UK. That same year, he was also summoned for questioning by India’s Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case, though he was not named as an accused.

The nature of the current allegations in Dubai remains unclear as fans await an official statement.
