The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) has initiated an inquiry under the Prevention of Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) against model and actress Nadia Hussain after she accused an FIA officer of demanding a bribe on social media.
Sources revealed that the FIA Cyber Crime Team conducted a raid at Hussain’s residence following her allegations. However, FIA officials clarified that the individual in question was not an FIA officer but a fraudster who had used the profile picture of an FIA official to impersonate one.
According to FIA officials, the scammer, who is reportedly from Vehari, used the photo of an FIA officer as his display picture on social media to contact Hussain and demand a bribe. The fraudster claimed to be an FIA official and asked for money in exchange for her husband’s bail.
Authorities had advised Hussain to report the incident to the Cyber Crime Reporting Center in Karachi. However, instead of following the guidance, Hussain chose to make a public statement on social media, accusing the FIA of corruption.
The FIA has strongly condemned Hussain’s actions, stating that making baseless accusations on social media is a criminal offense under PECA. Officials emphasized that her claims not only contradicted the facts but also attempted to damage the reputation of a legitimate institution.
“No individual should be allowed to spread baseless propaganda without evidence,” an FIA spokesperson said. The Cyber Crime Wing in Karachi has officially launched an investigation into Hussain’s allegations.
The controversy comes shortly after the FIA Corporate Crime Circle in Karachi arrested Atif Mohammad Khan, the former CEO of Bank Alfalah Securities and Hussain’s husband, on March 8. Khan is accused of embezzling Rs540 million by abusing his authority as CEO.
The FIA stated that Khan was involved in financial fraud, including falsification of accounts and criminal breach of trust.
The FIA has assured that the fraudster who impersonated an FIA officer will be apprehended soon. Meanwhile, the inquiry against Nadia Hussain for her social media allegations continues, with officials warning against spreading misinformation that could harm the credibility of institutions.
