Reports claimed that the servant faced the fury of Khan after a liquor bottle went missing from his bar in his house as Khan was heard asking where his bottle was.
Later, Khan released a video in which he said that the person seen in the video taking a beating was his pupil.
The singer said that the incident was part of the relationship between a master and his disciple.
“We love them for their good work. And when they make a mistake, we also give them punishment,” he said in the video as the servant was standing beside him along with his father.
