A court in Alipore, West Bengal on Tuesday granted bail to Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami in a domestic violence case filed by his wife, Hasin Jahan..As per a news report, Shami's brother Mohammed Hasib was also granted bail by the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate..In her complaint, Jahan stated that she married Shami on April 7, 2014 and a year later, they were blessed with a child. She alleged that she came to know that her husband is a womanizer and that he maintained steady sexual relations with many women. She further claimed that when she protested and raised her voice against such activities, he assaulted her on February 28, 2018..Jahan claims that she tried to give him a chance despite these actions, but the ill-treatment continued. She alleged that he stopped looking after her daily expenses and made baseless allegations against her through interviews to the media. Therefore, she lodged a police complaint against him and his family members in 2018. This resulted in a probe and filing of a chargesheet before a magistrate court in Alipore. The magistrate issued an arrest warrant against the cricketer..In 2019, a sessions court in West Bengal had stayed the arrest warrant issued against Shami. It also stayed the criminal trial against him.Thereafter, Jahan moved the Calcutta High Court, which dismissed her plea, prompting her to approach the Supreme Court. Jahan sought resumption of the criminal trial against Shami and urged the Court to lift the stay imposed by a sessions court on the cricketer's arrest.In July this year, the apex court had directed the sessions court to decide within one month the domestic violence case filed against the cricketer. Alternatively, the sessions court should decide the application by Jahan to lift the stay on Shami's trial, the Court had directed.
