Actress Nadia Hussain appears before FIA in fraud case

KARACHI: Model and actress Nadia Hussain appeared before the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) in connection with a fraud case involving her husband, ARY News reported on Monday.

Accompanied by her lawyers, Nadia Hussain came to the FIA’s Corporate Crime Circle in Karachi.

However, FIA officials raised objections to the presence of her lawyers, asking them to step outside the office.

An FIA officer stated that Nadia Hussain’s statement could not be recorded in the presence of an irrelevant person and instructed her to first consult with her lawyers before providing her statement.

Atif Khan, Nadia Hussain’s husband, is already in FIA custody over his alleged involvement in Rs54 crore fraud.

According to FIA Corporate Circle, Nadia Hussain has emerged as a major beneficiary in the case.

The FIA’s Corporate Crime Circle has uncovered key evidence revealing that Nadia Hussain allegedly used funds from bank fraud to operate her two salons.

Investigations indicate that an amount of Rs26.4 million was transferred to the salon accounts through two separate accounts belonging to Atif Khan.

The agency found that substantial amounts were transferred 19 times at different intervals since 2019. Atif Khan’s fraudulent activities reportedly caused a loss of Rs1.2 billion to the company he was associated with.

The FIA alleges that he misused company funds for personal accounts and covered his business losses by charging them to the bank.

Atif Khan is accused of transferring Rs540 million in business losses to the bank’s accounts while personally using over Rs110 million.

It is to be noted here that the Pakistan actress tied the knot with Atif Khan in 2003 and the couple has four kids, Shadal, Shanza, Sasha and Sherdad.
