FIR lodged against Shoaib Malik;offered bribe to Ayesha


Hyderabad: Following a complaint by the Siddiqui family, an FIR has been lodged against Shoaib Malik at the Banjara Hill police station in Hyderabad.

Siddiqui, in his complaint, had accused Shoaib of cheating, cruelty to woman and criminal conspiracy, Banjara Hills Police Inspector Iqbal Siddiqui said.

Consequently, Shoaib has been booked under Indian Penal Code Acts of 498A, 506 and 420.

Moments after Shoaib in a statement, had termed his marriage with Ayesha Siddiqui invalid, the Siddiqui family had reiterated by lodging a complaint against the former Pakistan captain at the Banjara Hill police station in Hyderabad.

"We received the complaint and we have not booked any case so far. We are verifying the facts," the police official had confirmed.

Malik is now likely to be questioned by the police.

The development surfaced even as there are reports that hectic parleys are on to resolve the dispute between Malik and Ayesha, after the former claimed to be the Pakistani cricketer's wife.

Ayesha also accused Malik of offering a bribe of USD 100 crores to underplay their ‘marriage’ and not go to the media with her side of story.

Former Indian cricket team manager Vankenna Chamundeswaranath is believed to be trying to broker peace.

Chamundeswaranath had come to the residence of Sania Mirza, whom Shoaib is set to marry this month, this morning to meet the Pakistani cricketer, who flew in here yesterday.

Chamundeswaranath is expected to carry the message to the Siddiquis who have threatened to sue Shoaib if he didn't divorce Ayesha before marrying Sania.

Meanwhile, Shoaib is expected to meet Pakistan High Commission to obtain a 'Izazatnama' which is required for Pakistani nationals to marry someone other than a Pakistani.

Pakistan High Commissioner Shahid Malik was in city last evening attending convocation at ISB but it is not clear whether any meeting took place between Shoaib and the High Commissioner.

According to sources, 20 rooms were booked for Shoaib's marriage with Sania in Taj Krishna hotel here. A famous designer from Delhi is expected to design wedding dress for the couple.
