The impersonator claimed that all legal matters concerning her husband had been resolved and urged her to transfer the amount discreetly while insisting on keeping the conversation confidential.
Earlier, Atif Mohammad Khan, former CEO of Bank Alfalah Securities and husband of Nadia Hussain, was arrested over allegations of embezzling Rs540 million, as reported by Express News. His arrest followed an FIA investigation prompted by a complaint from the company’s board of directors.
Investigators claim Atif Khan misused Rs80 million of company funds for personal trading and unlawfully obtained Rs654 million through a third party, later repaying it with high-interest payments using corporate funds. The FIA has also implicated former Chief Financial Officer Faisal Sheikh and another suspect, Imtiaz Ahmed, in facilitating the fraud. Further investigations are ongoing.
