Riaz, who has more than five million followers on X, formerly known as Twitter, had taken on the Pakistani military and its intelligence agencies after Khan was removed from power in April 2022 and blamed the army for his ouster. Local police have said they detained him in the eastern city of Sialkot on May 11, two days after Khan's supporters attacked military installations as the former leader was arrested. The police said they had detained Riaz in connection with the violence but had released him on May 15 and had no further information on his whereabouts.
His lawyer Ali Ashfaq also said he had been reunited with his family. Neither he nor the police statement said where he had been.
