India’s premier seamer Mohammed Shami’s rift with wife Hasin Jahan started in March 2018 and it has only been intensified with each passing week. Earlier, she accused Shami of domestic violence, delivering death threats and involvement in match-fixing and infidelity. The Indian fast-bowler pleaded guilty, but Jahan kept emphasizing her allegations against her own husband.
Earlier in April, the Hasin filed a case against Shami, asking him to pay INR 10 lakhs per month for her monthly expenses. Later, Zakir Hussain, Hasin’s lawyer, claimed that the cheque of INR 1 lakh, which Shami gave to Jahan, bounced. According to recent reports of Mojo News, Kolkata’s Alipore Court has asked Shami to be present on September 22.

Earlier, Jahan approached a number of famous personalities like Mamata Banerjee, the Honourable Chief Minister of West Bengal and CK Khanna, the president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Owing to the allegations, Shami’s national contract with BCCI was put on hold by Indian cricketing body. His participation in the IPL for the franchise Delhi Daredevils (DD) also came under the clouds.
The Anti Corruption Unit (ACU) and the Committee of Administrators (CoA), under the leadership of Vinod Rai, did a thorough investigation of the matter. During the rough period of his life, the CoA chief demanded to solve the matter as early as possible. However, afterward, the seamer was found innocent in the match-fixing and he was given a Grade-B contract by the BCCI.
Mohammed Shami didn’t have an impressive IPL 2018 as he got to play just four matches in the tournament in which he only managed to scalp three wickets. The pacer also failed to in the much-debated yo-yo test and missed India’s historic Test match against Afghanistan at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bangalore. Nevertheless, he cleared the test earlier this month and was also included in the Test squad for India’s upcoming series.
