Mohammed Shami's wife Hasin Jahan has made a sensational claim against the Indian cricketer and his family. She has said that her case is similar to the Kathua rape case.
Jahan, who files a case of domestic violence and infidelity against Shami, has stated that her fate could've been similar to that of the the minor Barkwal community girl who was repeatedly raped for eight days before being strangled and bludgeoned to death.
Jahan made these stunning claims while participating in a protest march in Kolkata on April 23 which was held against the horrific Kathua rape case. “Those who are guilty of the crime should be punished. Even my case is similar to this. But I am alive. Even I have been subjected to what happened in that case,'' a teary-eyed Jahan told reporters. "They had planned to rape me, kill me and then dump my body in a forest. It’s been almost two months that I am fighting against all this," she added.

Jahan has, meanwhile, demanded a monthly compensation of Rs 10 lakh per month for the interim period when the case is on. Hasin Jahan has demanded Rs 7 lakh as family maintenance while Rs three lakh per month for the child.
According to her lawyer, the court has understood the significance of the litigation and has hence decided to hear it on urgent basis. He said that the court has also asked Shami to clarify his point immediately.
Earlier in March, Hasin Jahan had met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in connection with the case. Mamata had met the cricketer's wife at the state Assembly for around 15 minutes and heard Jahan's complaint against Shami. Stating that she was content with the meeting, Hasin Jahan had told reporters. ''She listened to me. The Chief Minister was kind and empathetic. She has given assurances of support," she said.
Apart from the allegations of domestic violence and extra-marital affair, she had also alleged that the cricketer had taken money from a Pakistani woman named Alishba on the insistence of an England-based businessman, Mohammad Bhai.
Hasin Jahan, who has accused Mohammed Shami of domestic violence and infidelity, had also alleged that the pacer had forced her to have physical relationship with his brother. She had even claimed that the cricketer’s mother and brother tortured her and wanted to kill her.
Cricketer Shami and his family have denied all the allegations made against them by Hasin Jahan, who had filed a complaint against them at the Jadavpur Police Station in Kolkata.
