In yet another twist to the Mohammed Shami saga, the Indian fast-bowler has claimed that he found out about his wife Hasin Jahan's first marriage only after the duo got married themselves.

In a sensational claim, Shami said that Jahan had told him that her two daughters from her first marriage were actually her sister's children.

"I was not aware that it was her second marriage with me and it was only after we got married that I was told about two of my (step) daughters," Shami told India News.

The premier Indian pacer said he's worried for his own daughter's future and has been trying hard to reach a compromise with his estranged wife.

 

"I have been trying hard for a compromise. I have been trying to call her to settle the matter but she has accused me of threatening her. I am worried about the future of my daughter," he said.

On Wednesday, it was reported that the Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA) has written to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) to investigate the charges levelled against Shami by his wife.

The CoA, led by Vinod Rai, has given a seven-day deadline to BCCI's Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) head Neeraj Kumar to submit the report on the issue. This direction comes after cricketer's wife levelled various allegations, including of match-fixing, against the fast bowler. Though Jahan retracted fixing allegation, the CoA has taken note of it and asked the ACU to investigate the matter.

 

Earlier, a case was registered against Shami on the basis of a written complaint filed by his wife Hasin Jahan, who has claimed that Shami has been having extra-marital affairs and abusing her physically and mentally.

In a series of claims made by her last week, Jahan, for once, had also alleged that Shami could be involved in match-fixing.

The cricketer has been charged under various non-bailable and bailable sections of the IPC, including Section 498A, which deals with cruelty to a woman by her husband or his relatives, Section 307 - attempt to murder, Section 323 - punishment for voluntarily causing hurt, Section 376 - rape, Section 506 - criminal intimidation, Section 328 and Section 34.

Meanwhile, Shami has rejected all the allegations and said someone has been misleading his wife. Shami and Jahan got hitched in 2014.
