I am victim of a fraud done by the girls family: Mailk

LAHORE: Denying reports that he had telephonic 'nikah' with any Indian girl, Pakistan captain Shoaib Malik on Tuesday alleged he has been a victim of a fraud done by a family based in Hyderabad in India.

''Yes, Shoaib had an affair with a girl named Ayesha on the internet. He wanted to marry her and Siddiqui claimed her as his daughter. But the photographs they showed of Ayesha to Malik was not that of their real daughter. They tried to commit a fraud with us,'' Shoaib's brother Imran told media persons here.

M A Siddiqui of Hyderabad had claimed that Malik had married his daughter Ayesha and had threatened to move court if his daughter did not get a formal divorce.
 
Imran, however, rubbished these claims saying he and Malik had applied for Indian visas and will be going there soon to file a case of fraud against the Siddiquis.

''We didn't want this issue to be raked up in public but they are taking advantage of Malik's popularity as a cricketer. The thing is Malik liked a girl they claimed was their daughter and showed him pictures of another girl. When he did meet their daughter it was another girl,'' he said.
