The pair were arrested by cops in Fallowfield following the Manchester Arena bombing, which claimed the lives of 22 people, however they were later released without charge.
Abz Forjani said: "I am just still in shock to be honest about what has happened.
"Looking at the relationship I have had with Salman, it's a pretty close relationship. But for him to betray the image of the family in that manner, in that way, was out of order.

"Involving 22 people, innocent people, [I am] traumatised by it to be honest.
"For people who have seen it as a big network that we are involved in - there's nothing like that.

"It's not easy. It's not easy being connected to 22 lost innocent lives you know.
"And the fact that the person that did this is related to us by blood. It's just something that is going to stay me from the rest of my life really and my thoughts are with the families of the victims.
"I really do feel for them. I mean, we can come out and try and move on with our lives but they've lost their loved ones."
Cops also believe Abedi moved alone in the days prior to the attack.
Detective Chief Superintendent Russ Jackson, Head of the North West Counter Terrorism Unit, said:
“Our enquiries show Abedi himself made most of the purchases of the core components.
“What is becoming apparent is that many of his movements and actions have been carried out alone during the four days from him landing in the country and committing this awful attack.”
