Legal troubles have intensified for Dr Uzma Abbasi, sister of actor Hamza Ali Abbasi, after a local court in Islamabad revoked her interim bail in an alleged money laundering case.
According to media reports, the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) is investigating two separate cases involving Abbasi’s financial dealings.
Journalist Junaid Saleem, in a recent vlog, claimed that suspicious transactions worth approximately Rs25 billion had been recorded across 22 bank accounts linked to Abbasi.
The report further alleged a significant discrepancy between declared income — stated to be between Rs400,000 and Rs600,000 annually — and the volume of financial activity in those accounts.
Additional concerns include claims that her Islamabad clinic is unregistered and that payments were made via cheques issued in the names of employees, including drivers, raising further red flags for investigators.
One of the accounts is also reportedly jointly held with family members, adding complexity to the case.
The report also highlighted Abbasi’s frequent international travel, particularly between Dubai and Islamabad, as well as her alleged use of private jets and luxury vehicles, based on social media activity.
The case is being closely watched due to its potential implications for financial transparency and tax compliance. Authorities say the facts will become clear once investigations are complete.
No official statement has been issued so far by Hamza Ali Abbasi or his family in response to the allegations.
