Mohammed Shami has been summoned by the Kolkata police for interrogation in light of the domestic abuse case filed by his wife Hasin Jahan.
The Team India fast bowler is in Kolkata for the first time since his feud with Jahan broke out. Shami represents the Delhi Dardevils (DD) in the Indian Premier League (IPL). His team lost their match against the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Monday.
Shami has been trying to focus on the game, with his side having lost three games in IPL 2018 till now, but he will have to tackle an interrogation by the Kolkata police on Wednesdat at 2 pm after his wife filed a case against him and his family for domestic abuse, rape and attempt to murder.
"Kolkata Police has summoned Mohammad Shami tomorrow at 2 pm for interrogation after his wife Hasin Jahan had filed a domestic abuse complaint against him," ANI tweeted on Tuesday.
Jahan has been desperately trying to build a strong case against Shami, even asking West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for help. However, she recently said that she's losing faith in the police.
“I had a lot of faith in the city police initially, but seeing the way the case is being handled, I am slowly losing my faith. It seems any celebrity can escape the law using his influence and power, and helpless citizen like me will continue to suffer,” she was quoted as saying by TOI.
Jahan even stated that she sees no point in meeting Shami at this moment, even though he's in Kolkata itself. “What is the use? He had humiliated me when I went to Delhi to meet him. There is no point in me trying to meet him again and facing insult. I would rather be happy if the cops meet him,” she had said.
