Pakistani actress and model Nadia Hussain recently fell victim to an online scam after her husband, Atif Mohammad Khan, was arrested over fraud allegations. A local news channel reported on Thursday that a scammer, posing as an FIA officer, contacted her and demanded Rs30 million for her husband’s bail.
Nadia took to social media to share her experience, warning others about similar fraudulent schemes. The impersonator assured her that all legal matters concerning her husband had been resolved and pressured her to transfer the money discreetly. The caller also attempted to intimidate her, insisting that she keep the conversation confidential.
Meanwhile, Atif Mohammad Khan, the former CEO of a private bank securities and husband of Nadia Hussain, was arrested on charges of embezzling Rs540 million. According to reports, the FIA confirmed his arrest following an investigation prompted by a complaint from the company’s board of directors.
Investigators revealed that Khan allegedly misused Rs80 million of company funds for personal trading. He is also accused of illegally obtaining Rs654 million through a third party, repaying it with high-interest payments using corporate funds.
The FIA further implicated former Chief Financial Officer Faisal Sheikh and another individual, Imtiaz Ahmed, for their involvement in the fraud. Authorities stated that “further investigations are underway” as they continue to examine the case.
