Shoaib Malik addresses the media outside Sania Mirza's home in Hyderabad on Sunday.Hyderabad, Apr 5 (PTI) Police today reached the residence of tennis star Sania Mirza apparently to question Pakistani cricketer Shoaib Malik in the wake of a cheating case lodged against him by the father of Ayesha, the Hyderabad girl who claims to be his wife.
In fresh trouble for 28-year-old Shoaib, who is scheduled to get married to 23-year-old Sania here on April 15, the Hyderabad Police have alerted the immigration authorities about the criminal complaint, a move that could pose difficulties for Shoaib to leave the country.
After a marathon investigation that lasted for two hours, the police seized Shoaib Malik's passport and mobile phone. Sources said that the police are likely to investigate his mobile phone logs. The Pakistani cricketer has reportedly told the police that the signature on the 'nikahnama' is not his and has been forged.
ACP Ravikanth Reddy arrived at Mirza's residence, on Monday morning amidst media glare, however, it is unclear whether Sania is being quizzed too.
Meanwhile, police also arrived at Ayesha's residence in the city to record hers and her family's statement. The police are likely to take enough evidence from Ayesha. Sources said that the police are likely to go though Ayesha's phone logs.
The charges against Shoaib are that of harassment of Ayesha, cheating to marry another girl and criminal intimidation including threats to her to keep quiet, Hyderabad Police Commissioner AK Khan said.
Ayesha's father Mohammad Siddiqui in his complaint, which was lodged hours after Shoaib, on Sunday, confirmed his marriage with Sania, had accused the Pakistani cricketer of cheating his daughter.
The Banjara Hills police said that a case under Sections 420 (cheating), 498-A (dowry harassment) and 506 (criminal intimidation) of IPC has been registered against Shoaib and they will take up the investigation after verifying facts of the complaint.
Shoaib admitted to his 'nikah' with Ayesha but claimed the marriage was invalid. Shoaib accused Ayesha of cheating him as he believed the girl he was marrying was the one in the photographs sent to him by her.
