His father, Nizamuddin, a retired lekhpal, expressed his shock at the arrest, stating that if Rizwan is indeed involved in any illicit activities, he should face severe punishment. Rizwan, who is the eldest among seven siblings, had completed his education up to class 12 at Buddha Inter College in Kushinagar.
