Ifrah Khan's Arrest: Looking Back At Similar Cases

The incident with Khan is being likened to the famous Ayyan Ali case from Pakistan back in 2015. A supermodel popular worldwide, she was arrested at Islamabad airport by security forces and charged with money laundering.

The high-profile case had blown up, bringing to the surface other notable names from the fashion and political world in Pakistan involved in money laundering, as reported by Washington Post. Ali was looking at 14 years of imprisonment in the case. She was released on bail the same year.

As per local reports, Pakistani actor Sofia Mirza before her was also named in a money laundering case.
