Rahat Fateh Ali Khan detained in India under charges of carrying undeclared money, has reached home, Pakistan today.
He said his detention was due to lack of his knowledge relating to Indian Custom Laws. However, he showed agreement to revisit India conditioning that if hosts invite him with respect.
To a question, he dismissed impression of being made a target in India unlike Adnan Sami Khan.
Later, he thanked Rehman Malik and Pakistani High Commission in India on being helpful in troubled hours.
Rahat gets passport;
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan has received passport from Indian authorities and he is expected to embark on a return journey to Pakistan tonight.
Rahat was charged with currency violations on after he and his entourage were allegedly caught with $124,000 in undeclared cash at New Delhi's airport.
Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, a nephew of late Pakistani singing great Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, and his group were boarding a plane to Lahore via Dubai last Sunday when authorities alleged they found the $124,000 cash in their bags.
Thirty-seven-year-old Khan is accused of carrying undeclared foreign currency in violation of India's Foreign Exchange Management Act and customs rules.
Khan's manager Maroof, who goes by one name, faces similar charges, the reports said. The singer was stopped at the airport and his passport confiscated after performing a string of concerts in India.
According to Indian customs rules, visitors are allowed to carry only $5,000 in cash in and out of the country.
Central Board of Excise and Customs chairman S. Dutt Majumdar said the cash had allegedly been found divided among the musical troupe.
Rahat, a frequent visitor to India, is rated as one of the top "playback" singers in Bollywood, the country's prolific Hindi-language film industry, performing songs to which actors lip-synch the words.
He has several hit songs to his credit and won India's Filmfare Award for Best Male Playback Singer this year.
A spokesman for the Pakistan High Commission (embassy) in New Delhi said he was not immediately aware of the charges.
But the Pakistani foreign ministry said in Islamabad earlier in the week it was "closely monitoring the situation".
The charges were laid just over a week after nuclear rivals India and Pakistan agreed to resume peace talks suspended more than two years ago after Islamist gunmen killed 166 people in Mumbai.
Authorities could impose "heavy penalties" on Rahat and his manager, the Press Trust of India said, quoting unidentified official sources.
It was not immediately known what penalties the pair could face. Khan's agent Yusuf Salahuddin said the singer was perhaps unaware of India's stringent foreign currency laws.
"He was in India for 10 days and did about seven concerts all across the country and this must have been some of the money which possibly was given to him at the airport," he told Times Now TV station earlier this week.

Vidya or Kareena for Once Upon A Time
In part one of moive Once Upon A Time in Mumbai, Amy Kingston's resemblance to Mandakini, won her the role, as a one-night partner of Dawood, played by Emraan Hashmi.
A source close to the movie tells us, "The second part of Once Upon A Time In Mumbai is going to be on a much bigger canvas and hence Balaji is looking at a top actress to play the female lead. It would be either Vidya or Kareena.
Mandakini's character needs an actress who can emote very strongly. Kareena and Vidya best fit the bill."
Akshay Kumar for paying taxes
Khharon ke Khaladi Akshay Kumar is one actor who believes in paying taxes correctly. With the recent news of Priyanka Chopra and Katrina Kaif being subjected to raids by Income Tax officials, Akshay's stand seems apt.
We asked Akshay a pointed question on taxes and he retorted: "One needs to be true to oneself and to his or her country. Paying tax to the government is our duty. We should not even think of evading it.
After all, we have made it big because of the support of our country, then why not fulfil our duties towards the government?" Point taken, Mr Akshay Kumar. What you say certainly makes sense, unlike your films of late. Hope the concerned get the message.
