The city police have registered a case of cheating against Shoaib Malik based on a complaint filed by Mohammed Siddiqui, father of Ayesha, the Hyderabad girl who claims to be the wife of the former Pakistan cricket captain.
Siddiqui in his complaint, which was lodged hours after Shoaib confirmed his marriage with tennis star Sania Mirza on April 15, had accused the Pakistani cricketer of cheating his daughter.
The Banjara Hills police said a case under Sections 420 (cheating), 498-A (dowry harassment) and 506 (criminal intimidation) has been booked against Shoaib and they will take up the investigation after verifying facts of the complaint.
