Following her husband’s arrest in the bank fraud case, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) of Pakistan has initiated an investigation into Pakistani actress and model Nadia Hussain under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA).
As per media reports, the actress is under investigation after she allegedly made allegation against FIA on social media.
In a statement from the FIA spokesperson, it was stated that “Hussain made unfounded allegations that constitute a legal offense for call.”
The spokesperson said that on March 11, Hussain “received a call from a fraudster posing as a senior FIA officer,” demanding a bribe related to her husband’s arrest in a fraud case.
The impersonator had used a picture of a senior FIA officer as their profile picture on WhatsApp, according to the spokesperson.
Hussain reached out to the FIA Karachi regarding the call, she was informed that it was a fraudulent call and was advised to submit a complaint, the spokesperson reported.
The spokesperson also added that “she did not file a complaint with the FIA; instead, she opted to make unfounded allegations against the agency on social media.”
In an interview with a private TV channel, Hussain revealed that FIA team visited her house regarding the call and she provided all relevant details to the officials, clarifying in her social media post that it was a fraudulent call.
Hussain’s husband Atif Khan was arrested in March 8 for embezzling funds during his time as CEO of Al-Falah Securities.
The criminal investigation against him was launched based on a complaint from the chairman of the Al-Falah Securities board of directors.
The FIA spokesperson revealed that Khan misused his position as CEO of the subsidiary to embezzle approximately Rs540 million.
Also, it was said that Khan was involved in forgery, fraud, and manipulation of the private company’s accounts and records.
