After an FIR was registered against cricketer Mohammed Shami under sections of the Indian Penal Code, in an attempt to murder and torture his wife. Hasin Jahan told the media on Sunday, 11 March, that Shami would have divorced her by now if she did not get the mobile phone.
Claiming that Shami is “making up all sorts of things to save himself from allegations”, Jahan further questioned the media for not investigating, even after she gave them all the details.
Meanwhile, Shami on Sunday asserted that he wants the matter between the two to get resolved by talking.
On the other hand, Hasin Jahan’s ex-husband also spoke to the media about the controversy.
Earlier, the Kolkata police had booked Shami, and four of his family members, under various non-bailable and bailable sections, based on his wife’s complaint of domestic violence and infidelity. The cricketer’s brother had been also been booked with an additional charge of sexual assault.
The case was registered under non-bailable sections 307 (attempt to murder), 498-A (subjecting a woman to cruelty) and 376 (punishment for rape), Kolkata Police Joint CP (Crime) Praveen Tripathi said.
On Thursday, 8 March, Hasin Jahan had also alleged that Shami was involved in match fixing, to which the cricketer had responded saying he would “rather die than cheat his country”.
