Nadia Hussain Targeted by Scammer Amid Husband's Fraud Case

Pakistani actress and model Nadia Hussain has become the latest victim of an online scam after her husband, Atif Mohammad Khan, was arrested on fraud allegations, with a scammer impersonating an FIA officer and demanding Rs30 million in exchange for his release on bail.

The scammer, who claimed to be an FIA officer, contacted Nadia and attempted to intimidate her, insisting that the conversation remain confidential. However, Nadia revealed the incident on her Instagram, praising her son for initially recording the conversation. The caller allegedly changed his display picture from a man in a suit to a police uniform during the conversation, demanding 5 million rupees in cash within 15 minutes.

Atif Mohammad Khan, the husband of Nadia Hussain and former CEO of Bank Alfalah Securities, was arrested over allegations of embezzling 540 million rupees. The FIA confirmed his arrest following a probe initiated after a complaint from the company's board of directors. Nadia has reported the incident to the FIA and plans to discuss how her family's phone numbers were compromised with NADRA officials.

FIA officials confirm that an investigation is underway, and strict legal action will be taken against the perpetrator. Investigators will analyze WhatsApp messages and voice notes as part of the inquiry, and Nadia Hussain is likely to be summoned next week with her mobile phone and other evidence.

The incident highlights the growing concern of online scams and the importance of being vigilant when receiving suspicious calls or messages. Nadia Hussain's bravery in speaking out against the scammer has been praised, and the FIA's swift action in launching an investigation is a step in the right direction to combat such crimes.
