Mohammed Shami's allegations an afterthought: Hasin Jahan's lawyer

In the ongoing controversy involving Indian pacer, Mohammed Shami and his wife Hasin Jahan, the pinning of blame and allegations on one and other is continuing almost on a daily basis. Apart from adultery, cheating and extra-marital affairs, there have been accusations of a bigger magnitude such as domestic violence, attempt to murder, attempt to rape and also match-fixing.

The Indian pacer, in his defence of the multiple allegations levelled by his wife, stated that Hasin Jahan kept him in dark over her first marriage. Jahan was married to Saifuddin and has two daughters with him. But to make progress in her professional career she had made a decision to leave him. However, her lawyer on Friday denied the allegations calling them an ‘afterthought’.

“Shami has not made this allegation earlier when an FIR was registered against him; this has come as an afterthought. He was aware of everything before marriage,” Jahan’s lawyer Zakir Hussain. “The investigation will establish the truth,” he added.

Investigation will establish the truth

Hussain further said that Jahan has given Shami the provision to accept his mistakes and solve the matter, but the cricketer denied that.

“My client has given Shami the proposal to confess. But I don’t know why Shami is being so rigid,” he said, as reported in the media.

A case was registered against Shami on the basis of a written complaint filed by Jahan. In a recent development in the case, the Supreme Court appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) has written to the BCCI’s Anti-Corruption Unit head to investigate the charges levelled against Shami by his wife and file a report in seven days.

Jahan had alleged that the pacer met and took money from a Pakistani woman Alishba in Dubai at the behest of an English-based businessman Mohammad Bhai. However, with the investigation going on, there is a small chance that things may come back to normal in his cricket career if the Neeraj Kumar headed ACU absolves him from wrongdoing according to the board’s code of ethics.
