Indian police has booked international cricketer Mohammad Shami for several non bail-able charges including attempt to murder, rape, assault and criminal intimidation after his wife lodged a complaint against the Indian pacer.
Hasin Jahan, the wife of Mohammad Shami filed the complaint after alleging her husband and his family of domestic violence and the Indian cricketer of infidelity. Police filed the FIR on the basis of her complaint on Thursday,.
"Kolkata police's detective department has already started an investigation. We will look into all the allegations and carry out a thorough probe," said Praveen Tripathi, the joint commissioner (crime) quoted Times of India.
Even with the presence of the complaint, no arrests were made. "The sections merit Shami's arrest, but the cops do not need him in their custody as it is a marital dispute. Moreover, he is so famous that he cannot flee without being noticed. But he may be arrested if he refuses to cooperate," a criminal lawyer said.
On Friday, Shami’s wife told the media that many of the cricketer’s relatives have been contacting her post the police complaint. "I had informed each one of them about the torture Shami was inflicting on me. But none of them did anything, and instead they urged me to adjust as I was a woman. Why should I listen to them now?" she said.
The Indian cricketer reacted to her claims by saying, "I don't know what she is up to. She needs to explain what has changed so much in these few days. We even had a great Holi celebration earlier this month. Now she is suddenly leveling all these accusations on me. I think she has lost her mental balance or it might be her plan to sabotage my career."
