Imran Riaz Khan, a Pakistani journalist and political analyst, has safely returned home after being detained for four months, the Sialkot police and his attorney said early on Monday.
Since May, the outspoken journalist and ardent Imran Khan supporter has not been seen in public. However, on September 25, 2023, Mr. Khan returned safely to his house, days after the Lahore High Court offered the Punjab IGP one final chance to find the missing anchorperson.
Following the imprisonment of PTI Chairman Imran Khan, Imran Riaz, a YouTuber with millions of fans, was detained days later, sparking violent riots across Pakistan.
He was taken into custody and taken to the Cantt police station by officials in plain clothes.
The Sialkot police announced on social media that journalist and presenter Mr. Imran Riaz Khan had been found safely. Right now, he is with his family.
A FIR was previously filed under Section 365 of the Pakistan Penal Code in connection with his purported disappearance.
He has been in the spotlight on social and digital media since 2020 because of his followers’ preference for his direct and audacious reporting.
Imran Riaz Khan’s impartiality and integrity can be questioned, to be honest. Some detractors greatly commend his impartiality and professionalism. On the other hand, some opponents and top journalists point out his preference for Imran Khan and PTI.
