Model and actress Nadia Hussain has admitted to receiving funds from her husband, Atif Khan, in connection with a high-profile bank fraud case.
Hussain recorded her statement before the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) during a two-hour session on Tuesday, as investigators probe her husband’s alleged involvement in a Rs54 crore fraud.
During her appearance, Nadia Hussain acknowledged that she received money from Atif Khan to establish and expand her salon and spa business.
She maintained, however, that she was unaware of the source of these funds and had never questioned her husband about their origin. “I was never part of any fraud,” Hussain stated, emphasizing that she had no knowledge of any illegal activities her husband may have been involved in.
Hussain further clarified that her business is registered with the Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) and that the funds she received were declared as a loan in her tax returns. She explained that the money was used to open additional branches of her salon and was not linked to any illicit activity.
The FIA questioned Hussain about transactions in both her business and her husband’s bank accounts. Her responses have been added to the official case record.
Atif Khan, who remains in FIA custody, is accused of transferring Rs26.4 million to Nadia Hussain’s salon accounts through two separate accounts, with 19 transactions recorded since 2019. The FIA alleges that Hussain was a major beneficiary of the funds, which were allegedly derived from bank fraud.
Investigators claim Atif Khan’s fraudulent activities caused a loss of Rs1.2 billion to his company, with Rs540 million in business losses transferred to the bank and over Rs110 million used for personal expenses.
Nadia Hussain, who married Atif Khan in 2003, is the mother of four children. The investigation is ongoing.
