Mohammed Shami who is one of the very well-known players of the Indian cricket team was accused by his wife Hasin Jahan for harassment, affair and she had also said that Shami was involved in Match fixing. This news shook the cricketing world and it became headlines. While Shami said that his wife is making fake allegations, investigation of the case has already started.
Some of the charges levied against Shami are, section 307 (attempt to murder), 498A (cruelty to a woman by husband and in-laws), 376 (rape, brought against Shami’s elder brother), 323 (voluntarily causing hurt) and 506 (criminal intimidation).
The BCCI officials went to the Kolkata Police headquarters at Lalbazar in central Kolkata where Shami’s wife was summoned.
“BCCI officials came and spoke to her today at Lalbazar. The sessions continued for more than three hours,” confirmed Zakir Hussain, Hasin’s lawyer.
Taking a U-turn, in an interview with a leading daily, Hasin has now claimed that the match-fixing allegations were never even made by her as he doesn’t understand the technicalities of the game.
“I have never made any match-fixing claims. I do not even understand the game then how can I talk about it. It is Shami who is bringing the match-fixing angle,” she told the leading daily.
The CoA chief Vinod Rai has asked the Anti Corruption Unit to submit the investigation report within a week, post which a decision on Shami’s future with the Indian team will be taken.
“This has reference to the various media reports pertaining to allegations against Md. Shami. The Committee of Administrators has listened to the audio recording of a telephonic conversation which it is claimed is between Md. Shami and his wife. The said audio recording is available in public domain,” Rai had written in his letter.
“The Committee of Administrators is concerned only with such portion of the said audio recording in which the person who it is claimed is Md. Shami is heard saying another person by the name of ‘Mohammad Bhai’ had sent money to Md. Shami through a Pakistani lady by the name of ‘Alisba’,” the CoA had said in a letter to Neeraj Kumar.
“Please investigate the above assertions/allegations under the BCCI Anti-Corruption Code and submit a report to the Committee of Administrators with your findings as to whether there is any basis to proceed further in terms thereof. The investigation should cover (i) the identity and antecedents of ‘Mohammad Bhai’ and ‘Alisba’; (ii) whether any money was in fact sent by the said Mohammad Bhai through the said Alisba to Md. Shami; and (iii) if yes, the purpose for which the said money was received by Md. Shami,” the letter read.
Only time will tell who was right and who was wrong.
