India fast-bowler Mohammed Shami has landed in legal troubles because of the domestic violence case filed by his estranged wife Hasin Jahan. The feud between the couple had started in March last year. Mohammed Shami had found himself at the mid of the storm after his wife levelled sensational allegations against him.

Hasin alleged her husband was having extra-marital affairs with several women. She even claimed the pacer was physically assaulting and threatening her over a period of almost two years. The cricketer’s wife posted several screenshots on social media to back her claims. The pictures showed the chats Shami allegedly had with multiple women.

In addition, Hasin had also filed a police complaint against Shami at the city police headquarters at Lalbazar in Bengal. Not only Shami, but four other family members of the bowler were also accused of torturing Hasin that saw them getting charged under several Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections.

Shami was booked under section 498A, which amounts to cruelty to a woman by her husband or his relatives. The other charges recorded against Shami were under Section 307 – attempt to murder, Section 323 – punishment for voluntarily causing hurt, Section 376 – rape, Section 506 – criminal intimidation, Section 328 and Section 34.

Hasin Jahan had also mentioned Shami’s involvement in match-fixing. As a result, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was compelled to withhold his central contract.  But, after a thorough investigation from BCCI’s Anti-Corruption Unit (ACSU) head Neeraj Kumar, the committee gave a clean chit to Shami.

But the old allegations have once again come back to haunt Shami as West Bengal’s Alipore court issued a arrest warrant against Shami and his brother Hasid Ahmed in connection with the domestic violence case filed by Hasin Jahan. According to ANI, the court has asked him to surrender within 15 days.

Shami is currently in West Indies for the ongoing Test series. The team is currently playing the second and final Test and is likely to return home later this week.
