Hyderabad, Apr 4(ANI): Mohammed Siddiqui, father of Ayesha, the Hyderabad girl claiming to be Pakistan cricketer Shoaib Malik's wife, filed a complaint against the cricketer at Banjara Hills Police Station for forgery on Sunday.

According to Banjara Hills Police Inspector, Iqbal Siddiqui, Siddiqui has filed a case accusing Shoaib of cheating, cruelty to woman, and criminal conspiracy.

"We received the complaint and we have not booked any case so far. We are verifying the facts," said Inspector Iqbal Siddiqui.

The Siddiquis claim that Malik married their daughter Ayesha in 2002, but has not divorced her till date.

The Hyderabad based family had also produced pictures of Shoaib-Ayesha's Nikahnama (marriage certificate) that states that their marriage was solemnised on June 3, 2002.

Earlier in the day, Shoaib said that his wedding to Indian tennis star Sania Mirza would take place as scheduled on April 15, and he claimed that he was "emotionally forced" to do a "telephone Nikah" (wedding on telephone) with Ayesha.

Addressing the media outside Sania's house in Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad, Shoaib said: "I am here till April 15 for my marriage. We are getting married, Inshaallah, on April 15. We are preparing for the function, the atmosphere here is very good, are very happy."

"Sania is very happy and knows the truth," he added. (ANI)
