Mohammed Shami's estranged wife has moved to Supreme Court with a Special Leave Petition, alleging that a criminal case should be filed against the fast bowler. Hasin Jahan, who has lived away from Shami since 2018, alleges that he has 'erroneously stayed for the past 4 years, without any just circumstances' and said that the Indian cricketer has continued with his extra-marital affairs with prostitutes, even when he is on tours with the senior national cricket team.
The model first filed a case of domestic abuse and adultery against Mohammed Shami in 2018 when she filed a police complaint in Jadavpur. Since then, she has been fighting a legal battle against the pacer, who has since tasted success with the Indian team and in the Indian Premier League (IPL) as well, winning the 2022 season with his current franchise Gujarat Titans (GT).
Shami and his elder brother Hasib Ahmed were questioned by the Kolkata Police's women's grievance cell in 2018 while the Alipore Court even issued an arrest warrant against the Indian cricketer. However, the arrest warrant stayed as the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) gave Shami a clean chit after Hasin Jahan even alleged that Shami was involved in match-fixing.
In her latest attempt at justice, Jahan's alleged that the sessions court in Kolkata passed the order to stay action against Shami even though the cricketer 'did not even pay for the stay of criminal trial and his sole grievance was only against the issuance of arrest warrants.
In her plea, Hasin Jahan has again alleged that Shami used to ask for a dowry. In a shocking allegation, Hasin Jahan, who worked as a model and cheerleader in the IPL, claims that Shami has continued having extra-marital affairs even on his tours with the senior national cricket team.
"Mr. Shami used to demand dowry from her and that he has been continuously involved in illicit extra-marital sexual affairs with prostitutes, especially during his BCCI tours, in the hotel rooms provided by the BCCI, even till the present day.
"Mrs. Hasin Jahan has alleged in the Petition that Mr. Shami used to use his 2nd mobile phone- HTC company, mobile no. +447864905556, for managing all his affairs in relation to prostitutes and the said phone was seized by the Lal Bazaar Police, Kolkata, in connection with the present crime. However, Mr. Shami, as per the allegations in the Petition, still continues to be involved in sexual activities with prostitutes," the petition said.
