LAHORE: The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) of Pakistan has launched an investigation into actress and model Nadia Hussain. She is accused of making false allegations on social media under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA).
An FIA spokesperson stated that Hussain made baseless claims, which is a legal offense.
On March 11, a fraudster called Hussain, pretending to be a senior FIA officer. He demanded a bribe related to her husband’s arrest in a fraud case. The impersonator used a senior FIA officer’s photo as a WhatsApp profile picture.
Hussain contacted FIA Karachi about the call. Officials told her it was a scam and advised her to file a complaint. The spokesperson said she did not submit a complaint. Instead, she made false accusations against the FIA on social media.
In an interview with Geo News, Hussain said FIA officials visited her home. She provided them with all relevant details. She later clarified in a social media post that the call was fraudulent.
Her husband, Atif Khan, was arrested on March 8. He is accused of embezzling funds as CEO of Al-Falah Securities.
The case started after the chairman of Al-Falah Securities filed a complaint. FIA said Khan misused his position to embezzle Rs540 million. He allegedly committed fraud, forgery, and manipulated company records.
On March 13, Hussain addressed her husband’s arrest on Instagram.
She said a man named Nauman tried to scam her son. He demanded money to secure Khan’s bail.
She stated that legal restrictions prevent her from sharing details. However, she is confident the truth will emerge.
Hussain also questioned the bank’s role in the alleged fraud. She suggested that a reputable financial institution should have detected any wrongdoing.
She thanked the authorities for their help. She also said she will not be intimidated.
