Hasin Jahan, MohammEd Shami's estranged wife, targeted by religious bigots over social media posts

The estranged wife of Indian pacer Mohammed Shami, Hasin Jahan has once again emerged on the radar of the religious bigots due to her recent Instagram posts. Hasin Jahan has been quite active on social media, especially on the photo and video sharing platform, Instagram. 

She has been pursuing a career in modeling and acting since she got separated from her cricketer husband. Jahan has been living in Kolkata and has been often seen posting images on her Instagram handle. The picture which didn’t sit well with the religious bigots had a caption, which read, “Zamane me hastee ohi hai jiske hosle ka koi thikana nahi”, which literally translates to “One whose courage has no limits, achieves success and fame.”

Hasin Jahan had come into the limelight after she made a series of surprising and serious allegations against the Indian cricketer and his family. According to the cricketer’s former wife, he and his family had subjected her to domestic violence and assault.

Hasin Jahan received death threats last year

Her social media posts have not sat well with the traditional Muslim culture and the religious bigots have advised her against that. She has been previously targeted for her outfits and her pictures on social media. This has taken a sharp turn ever since her estranged relations with the cricketer were revealed in the media. 

She had received death threats as well as rape threats from people after she had shared her congratulatory messages on Ram temple Bhoomi Pujan in Ayodhya. The incident happened last year and she received a lot of hate on her social media network. She went on to lodge a complaint in the Kolkata Police Cyber Crime department, which is located in the Kolkata Police headquarters in Lalbazar. 

Later in 2020, she filed a plea in the Calcutta High Court in which she demanded security for herself and her daughter. She had also complained to the police about the threats. She had parted ways with Shami after she had alleged and lodged a police complaint against the cricketer.
