Journalist Imran Riaz Khan’s youtube channel hacked
Anchor and YouTuber Imran Riaz Khan said on Thursday that his YouTube channel had been hacked.
Imran Riaz said on Twitter that all videos on his channel had also been deleted. Imran Riaz has over 3 million subscribers on YouTube.
The presenter recently admitted to making millions from his channel. Imran Riaz is known as a journalist and presenter loyal to Imran Khan and PTI.
When Imran Riaz Khan lost his job as a presenter at Samaa TV in Pakistan, he joins a growing list of journalists left unemployed amid the country’s political unrest.
Luckily, Riaz Khan has a YouTube channel with 2.6 million subscribers to fall back on.
Over the past two years, Imran Riaz Khan has diligently cultivated his online viewership, amassing more than 650 million views as he spoke about Pakistan’s often explosive politics. As attempts to overthrow the prime minister mounted, views on his channel soared.
“The other day you, the new government, removed me from my position,” Riaz Khan told viewers in a May 12 broadcast. ‘Do you think I’m going to shut up? I’ll talk and I’ll keep saying what’s right.’
Emails to the PML-N party, which leads the new government, bounced back. The party did not respond to attempts to reach it via social media.
