Pakistani actress Nadia Hussain has received a hoax call from a fraudster impersonating an FIA officer and demanding a bribe for her husband’s release, citing an official.
The call came after her husband, Atif Mohammad Khan, was arrested in the embezzlement case.
FIA alerted Hussain that it was a hoax call, but she took to social media to make allegations against FIA officials, prompting an inquiry under the PECA Act.
According to a press release from the FIA, following a complaint filed by the group head of Al-Falah Bank Ltd, FIA Karachi conducted an extensive criminal inquiry into Atif Mohammad Khan, the former CEO of Al-Falah Securities.
An FIA spokesperson stated that the inquiry proceedings clearly revealed that Atif Mohammad Khan had embezzled Rs 540 million from Al-Falah Securities by misusing his position as CEO and committing criminal breach of trust, falsifying accounts and records, fraud, and forgery.
