About Sufi and Raftaar's fight

In the fourth episode of The Traitors, after the players completed the task, Raftaar was heard telling Maheep Kapoor and Nikita Luther in the car that he suspected Sufi was the traitor. Before the task began, Raftaar had allegedly told Sufi, "I know how to dominate you. I’m just going to laugh at you today." Toward the end of the episode, just before the Circle of Shaq, Raftaar got into an argument with all the contestants, during which he was seen lashing out at everyone.

In the fifth episode, during the Circle of Shaq, the players discussed who they believed to be the traitor. In the task leading up to this, they had to collect gold from scarecrows. The contestants were then asked to choose between two suspects: Sufi and Raftaar. Sufi said that since he had been the main target of suspicion, he selected his name, but it turned out to be the wrong choice. The correct answer was Raftaar. The rapper later got into another argument, this time with Apoorva Mukhija, aka The Rebel Kid. During the heated exchange, Raftaar remarked, "Why do only Apoorva and Sufi understand everything? Are the others dumb or what?"

After several arguments, Raftaar told Sufi, "I think you should call me a sidekick, bro." To this, Sufi replied, "I don’t wanna call you anything." Raftaar responded, "I wanna call you a sidekick." Sufi then retorted, "Shut up. I am not your f*cking sidekick, and you will not say any f*cking thing to me. Disrespectful btch."*
