KARACHI: Model and actress Nadia Hussain appeared before the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) to record her statement in connection with a high-profile bank fraud case involving her husband, Atif Khan.
During the two-hour session, Nadia confirmed receiving funds from her husband to establish her salon and spa business but maintained she had no knowledge of the funds’ origin.
“I was never part of any fraud,” she said, insisting she was unaware of any wrongdoing and had never questioned her husband about the source of the money.
She added that her salon business is fully registered with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and the amount received from Atif Khan was declared in her tax filings as a loan. The funds, she stated, were used to expand her salon operations and had no ties to any illegal activities.
FIA officials questioned Nadia about various transactions involving her business and her husband’s bank accounts. Her responses have now been added to the agency’s case record.
Atif Khan is currently in FIA custody over his alleged involvement in a Rs540 million fraud, which reportedly caused total losses of Rs1.2 billion to the company he was associated with.
According to the FIA’s Corporate Crime Circle, Nadia Hussain has emerged as a key beneficiary in the case. Investigators allege that Rs26.4 million was funneled into her salon business through two accounts under Atif Khan’s name. These transfers reportedly took place over 19 separate transactions since 2019.
The FIA claims Atif Khan used company funds for personal gains, transferring business losses to the bank and misappropriating over Rs110 million for personal use.
Nadia Hussain married Atif Khan in 2003. The couple has four children: Shadal, Shanza, Sasha, and Sherdad.
