Kolkata: An FIR has been lodged against cricketer Mohammed Shami on Friday after a written complaint was filed by the fast bowler’s wife.
Kolkata Police have charged India pacer Mohammed Shami and his brother with IPC sections related to rape, domestic violence and causing hurt with poison following an FIR by Hasin Jahan, the cricketer’s wife.
The sections invoked against the 27-year-old pacer, who made his debut in November 2013, include 307 (attempt to murder), 498A (domestic violence), 506 (criminal intimidation), 328 (causing hurt by means of poison), 34 (acts by several persons in furtherance of common intention) and 376 (rape). The last section was brought against Mohammed Shami’s elder brother.
“My husband’s elder brother, Hasib Ahmad, raped me when I went to my in-law’s place in Uttar Pradesh last year,” said Jahan on Friday morning.
Some sections are non-bailable and carry prison terms of 10 years or more.
