Delhi Daredevils pacer Mohammed Shami has returned to the field with the Indian Premier League, but the problems in his personal life continue to pile up for him.
Shami’s wife Hasin Jahan filed another complaint against him on Tuesday. In her complaint before the Alipore court in Kolkata, Jahan demanded Rs 10 lakhs to run her family and Rs 5 lakhs to raise her daughter Aairah.
Talking to the Times of India, Hasin Jahan’s lawyer Zakir Hussain said, “We approached the court of additional chief judicial magistrate who sent us to the court of the third judicial magistrate for a quick hearing. The magistrate heard our petition and passed an order show-causing the opposite party asking why an ex-parte order would not be passed against them if they don’t appear before the court within 15 days of receipt of the summons. The next date of hearing is May 4.”
Hasina Jahan has lodged the complaint against Shami, his mother Anjuman Ara Begum, sister Sabina Anjum, brother Mohammed Hasib Ahamed and Hasib’s wife Shama Parveen.
“This case is different from the one we had filed before the police. Shami had not paid a single penny to Jahan since she had raised the issue. He had given her a Rs 1 lakh cheque that later bounced. Now she has no money to pay for the monthly expenses,” Zakir added.
He also said Shami earned a lot from cricket and it should not be a problem for him to pay the maintenance amount to Hasin Jahan.
“It is his duty to take care of the family and pay for the wife and child’s expenses. Hence we demanded the money — Rs 7 lakh per month for Jahan and Rs 3 lakh per month for the child,”Jahan’s lawyer added.
“I am at a loss from all ends. I had been to Delhi to meet him and was there for seven days but I can never forget the way he behaved with me. He also met the daughter only once. Hence I demand the maintenance fee as he is not taking any of our responsibilities,” Hains Jahan concluded.
