Clothes Ayesha Siddiqui wore when she got intimate with Pak cricketer will be handed over to forensic lab; may prove clinching evidence in the case

The Ayesha Siddiqui-Shoaib Malik saga is only getting murkier with each passing day. And with Ayesha now providing clinching evidence like the clothes she wore when she had a sexual relationship with the Pakistani cricketer and other documentary evidence to prove that the two were indeed married, there seems to be no respite for Shoaib.u00a0

The case will now be investigated by the crime station of the Hyderabad Police instead of the local Banjara Hills police, where Ayesha first filed the FIR on April 4.

ACP B Murlidhar (Anti Homicide Team, South Zone) will be investigating the case now. They will visit Ayesha's Banjara Hills residence and will collect all the evidence the Siddiquis have gathered against Shoaib Malik," Mohammed Iqbal Siddiqui, SHO, Banjara Hills said.

According to police officials, a team of investigators will visit Ayesha's home along with a team of forensic experts. "They will collect theu00a0clothes Ayesha was wearing when she and Malik shared some intimate moments.

Also, they claim to have medical evidence to prove that Ayesha had a miscarriage, which they will hand over to the cops," said a senior police inspector, requesting anonymity.u00a0

Police sources informed that all the evidence will be sent to the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) in Hydera-bad. But when MiD DAY contacted O Narsimha Murthi, director of the FSL, he said, "The police have not approached us yet seeking any assistance. However, we will do the needful as and when the samples are sent to us."

However, other forensic experts are doubtful if Ayesha's clothes will do Shoaib in.u00a0 "Why would anybody preserve her clothes for such a long period, when the relationship between the two parties was believed to be amicable? It might be done only if someone has an ulterior motive. Moreover, getting scientific evidence in such cases is almost impossible," said a forensic expert, requesting anonymity.

He added that they will examine the handwriting and conduct tests on other samples which will be sent to them. A K Khan, commissioner of police, Hyderabad said, "We are probing the case from allu00a0 angles."
