Case filed against Shoaib, Sania for 'hurting Muslim sentiments'

In fresh trouble for Shoaib Malik and his wife Sania Mirza, police have registered a case against them and 12 others for allegedly hurting sentiments of Muslims by violating religious traditions in the Pakistani cricketer's divorce and marriage.






Based on a private complaint lodged by a city-based Muslim organisation, the court of Third Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate has referred the matter to Station House Officer of Banjara Hills Police here for investigation and asked for a report on it by May 26. West Zone Deputy Commissioner of Police Stephen Ravindra said today.







"After the court order, a case was registered last night. We have to investigate and a status report will be filed before the court," Ravindra said.





The complainant Moullim Mohsin Bin Hussain Al-Kasary, founder president of Mazlumeen-e-Ummatay Mohammediya organisation, has accused the Pakistani cricketer, Sania and her father as well as Shoaib's first wife Ayesha Siddiqui and family friends of hurting religious sentiments over matters relating to Shoaib's divorce to Ayesha and his subsequent marriage to the tennis star earlier this month.
