LAHORE: YouTuber and digital content creator Aun Ali Khosa has returned home after being allegedly abducted by unidentified individuals from his home last week, his lawyer Mian Ali Ashfaq confirmed on Monday.
Taking to social media platform X, Ashfaq said that Khosa’s family had confirmed his safe return, claiming that he has held a detailed conversation with his client.
Khosa’s return comes days after the Lahore High Court’s Justice Syed Shahbaz Ali Rizvi gave an August 20 deadline to Capital City Police Officer Bilal Saddique Kamyana the police to recover the missing YouTuber.
The court’s orders came after a petition was filed by the content creator’s wife, Binish Iqbal, through lawyers Khadija Siddiqui and Ashfaq seeking her husband’s recovery.
The YouTuber’s alleged abduction also warranted a response from the Human Rights Commission of Pakistan which had called for his “immediate recovery”.
“HRCP is alarmed by reports that digital content creator @aun_khosa known for his satirical take on spiralling living costs, was abducted last night, allegedly by unknown armed men from his home in Lahore. We are concerned that this incident may be related to his work as a satirist. He must be recovered immediately,” the human rights watchdog said in a statement.
