Punjab Anti-Corruption arrested Imran Riaz Khan, says lawyer Ali Ashfaq

LAHORE – Pakistani TV show host and YouTuber Imran Riaz Khan was arrested by Anti-Corruption Establishment (ACE) Punjab, said his lawyer Mian Ali Ashfaq.

Taking to X, commonly known as Twitter which is facing outages in Pakistan, the counsel of Imran Riaz Khan said that his client had already known about the move of the ACE.

“I know the location where Imran Riaz has been kept. It is the seventh round in two years. May Allah protect the secrets of all,” said Mian Ali Ashfaq.

Imran Riaz, a political commentator who remains at odds with the country’s powerful quarters, was reportedly held from his Lahore residence in the wee hours of Friday.

Clips of Khan’s arrest are circulating on X/Twitter and other social media.

In September last year, the journalist – who became a controversial political commentator over the years – returned home safely after being held for over four months.
