Of particular note is the imposter’s adeptness in obtaining call records of government officers, exploiting this data to coerce significant amounts of gold from multiple officials.

In a revelation of the suspect’s troubling history, FIA officials disclosed that Hussain had previously served a five-year sentence for engaging in fraudulent activities.

Prompted by a complaint from a targeted government officer, the agency took swift and decisive action against the imposter.

The complaint outlined how the fraudster demanded 25 tolas of gold, backed by receipts, deceitfully asserting that these funds were required for a Gold Inquiry.
