Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi, along with ten other people, were booked in a case related to the alleged fraud in a housing society project.

The First Information Report (FIR) against the power-hitter and other suspects was registered at Islamabad's Rawat Police Station under section 420 on the complaint of the alleged victim, Abid Bin Abdul Qudoos.

According to the FIR, the other suspects named in the case include Sheikh Fawad Bashir, Shehzad Kayani, Umar Bashir, Farooq Bashir, Kashif, Usman, Nasira Bashir, Iftikhar Ilyas, Hafeezur Rehman and Malik Sohail Ahmed.

In an FIR, the victim said that a construction company owned by the suspects persuaded him to buy two shops on the mezzanine floor in the project AAA Business Centre through an advertisement featuring Shahid Afridi.

As per the details provided by Abid in FIR, he purchased the properties against the amount of Rs9.5 million and made full payment for shop number 17 (Rs5.5 million) and shop number 15 (Rs4 million) in the project.

The victim further stated in a complaint that the suspects forged documents to fleece money and the stamp papers provided to him were issued on back dates.
