Model and actress Nadia Hussain expressed that she did not intend to show any disrespect towards any official of the FIA and extended her apologies.
Speaking to the media outside the agency’s office, she stated that she had “provided all the necessary information to the FIA officials concerning the fraudulent call.”
Her apology follows the FIA’s initiation of an investigation against her under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (Peca) for allegedly making unfounded accusations against the agency.
Nadia had previously taken to her Instagram to report that an individual impersonating an FIA officer had attempted to defraud her.
This incident transpired shortly after the arrest of her husband, Atif Khan, in connection with a financial embezzlement case. The FIA apprehended Khan last week in a multi-million fraud investigation, and he is currently under scrutiny.
According to Nadia, the impersonator demanded a bribe of Rs30 million for her husband’s release on bail.
She recounted that the caller insisted the matter should remain confidential between them. Initially, she was nearly convinced by his claims, but it did not take long for her to discern the fraudulent nature of the call.
Nadia further mentioned that immediately after receiving the deceptive call, she lodged a complaint on the FIA’s online portal, although she was unaware that a written complaint was also necessary.
She also disclosed that the suspect had only reached out to her “via WhatsApp.”
The model urged “higher authorities to protect individuals from fraudsters” and suggested a collaboration between the institutions and herself to create an awareness video.
Additionally, she encouraged the public not to hesitate in reporting such individuals.
