Early life

Riaz was born in 1972[4] to an aristocratic Muslim family in Faridpur District, Bangladesh. Riaz is the youngest child in his family. He has six sisters and a brother, Raisuddin Ahamed Siddique. He was brought up in CNB staff quarters of Faridpur for the first sixteen years of his life.[5] His father, the late Zainuddin Ahamed Siddique, was a government service holder. His mother was Arjumand Ara Begum. His paternal home is in Jessore District. His father died in 1988. After the death of his father, Riaz moved to Jessore district in 1989.

Riaz took the exams to be a pilot in the BAF right after his HSC results. From then on, he became a top-rate fighter pilot. He underwent training in Turkish Air Force on a scholarship for one-and-a-half years. He enrolled at the University of Rajshahi from 1991 to 1993 to earn his bachelor's degree in science. However, he was later dismissed from the Air Force due to a misunderstanding with the authorities.[5]
