Shami booked for attempt to murder, domestic violence

A First Information Report (FIR) filed at the Jadavpur police station charges the cricketer and four others with various sections of the Indian Penal Code including attempt to murder, rape, criminal intimidation and causing hurt by means of poison. 

“On the basis of a written complaint from Hasin Jahan, a case was recorded at the police station on March 8 (Thursday) against Shami and four others,” a police official said. 

Shami (27) and his family have also been charged with subjecting his wife to cruelty, voluntarily causing hurt and acting in furtherance of common intention. 

An emotionally drained Hasin Jahan made journalists listen to an audio clip where Shami purportedly accepts his infidelity. 

“On Thursday Shami said that my mental condition is not stable,” the anguished woman said. “Till now, I have not given any contradictory statement. I made you listen to the recording where he has accepted all his extra-marital affairs. Now, whose mental condition is unstable, you judge,” she said. 

She added, “I have suffered a lot. Previously, I did not get any help regarding this. I tried a lot. So I decided to post all of Shami’s wrongdoing on Facebook. I never had any intention of spreading dirt on FB or to entertain people. This is my fight against his unacceptable acts,” she added. 

Hasin Jahan vented her ire over her posts being removed from Facebook, saying her intentions were to seek a way out of her prolonged suffering. 

Asked if Shami’s relatives or family contacted her during this period, Jahan said, “Shami’s relatives did not help me when I was being tortured. They only told me to sacrifice as he is a man and has the license to play around. They knew everything.” 

Hasin Jahan said she tried to make peace with her star husband but the latter would never talk to her and repeatedly ignored her and their daughter. Hasin Jahan alleged that Shami and his family even tried to kill her.
