Riaz was apprehended just two days after the violent protests that occurred on May 9. He was initially taken into custody at the Cantt police station and later transferred to Sialkot prison. Concerned for his son’s safety, Riaz’s father filed a plea with the Lahore High Court (LHC) requesting his recovery.

اللہ کے خاص فضل، کرم و رحمت سے اپنے شہزادے کو پھر لے آیا ھوں-

مشکلات کے انبار، معاملہ فہمی کی آخری حد، کمزور عدلیہ و موجودہ غیر مؤثر سر عام آئین و قانونی بے بسی کی وجہ سے بہت زیادہ وقت لگا- 🙏

ناقابل بیان حالات کے باوجود اللہ رب العزت نے یہ بہترین دن دکھایا اس وقت صرف بے پناہ… pic.twitter.com/z96M9pGaPZ
