Hussain reached out to the FIA Karachi regarding the call, she was informed that it was a fraudulent call and was advised to submit a complaint, the spokesperson reported.

In an interview with Geo News, she revealed that FIA team visited her house regarding the call and she provided all relevant details to the officials, clarifying in her social media post that it was a fraudulent call.

Hussain’s husband Atif Khan was arrested n March 8 for embezzling funds during his time as CEO of Al-Falah Securities.

The criminal investigation against him was launched based on a complaint from the chairman of the Al-Falah Securities board of directors.

On March 13, Hussain took to her Instagram to address her husband’s arrest by FIA.

Hussain disclosed that she was almost scammed by a man named Nauman, who reached out to her son, demanding money to secure her husband’s bail.

She mentioned that legal restrictions prevent her from discussing the case in depth, but she is confident that the truth will come to light soon.

The model also questioned the bank’s involvement in the alleged fraud, suggesting that a reputable financial institution should have been aware of any misconduct.
