Team India pacer Mohammed Shami's estranged wife Hasin Jahan on Monday said she wanted to meet the cricketer following his accident while travelling from Dehradun to New Delhi.
Shami's car collided with a truck on March 24 and he suffered minor injuries and got a few stitches on his head.
"My fight is against what he has done to me. But I do not want him to get hurt physically. He may not want me as a wife anymore. But I still feel for him and love him because he is my husband," Jahan told reporters here this evening.
Shami has been booked under various non-bailable, including attempt to murder, and bailable sections of the Indian Penal Code after Jahan's complaint to the police of domestic violence and infidelity against him.
She said she was eager to meet Shami along with their daughter but all her attempts to contact him over phone went "unanswered".
"I have been trying to get in touch with my husband. But he is not responding to my calls to his phone. Even his family members were not telling me where he is currently located. I feel helpless," she said.
Earlier, Jahan said she was praying for her estranged husband's recovery. “I don't want anything bad for Shami. He is not my arch-enemy. If Shami is ill, I can't feel well. I will pray to Allah that Shami gets well soon."
Shami, who is in the Delhi Daredevils IPL team, was returning to New Delhi from Dehradun in a car when it collided with a truck. Shami sustained minor injuries and got a few stitches on his head. He is currently recuperating in Dehradun and is out of danger.
The 27-year-old Shami trained for two days at the Abhimanyu Cricket Academy (ACA), run by Bengal batsman and India 'A' player Abhimanyu Easwaran's father in Dehradun to rejuvenate himself mentally and physically. He had claimed that he has been under "mental torture" after his wife Hasin Jahan lodged a complaint of domestic violence and infidelity against him. Shami has denied all the allegations.
Shami has been booked under various non-bailable, including attempt to murder, and bailable sections of the Indian Penal Code. Jahan has also alleged that Shami had taken money from a Pakistani woman named Alishba on the insistence of an England-based businessman, Mohammad Bhai.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India cleared Shami's central contract yesterday after its anti-corruption unit exonerated him of corruption charges levelled by Jahan.
Shami has been given a Grade 'B' annual contract, which will make him richer by Rs 3 crore. He will also be free to play in the Indian Premier League for his franchise - the Delhi Daredevils starting April 7.
Jahan had met West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in connection with her allegation against Shami.
After the meeting Jahan has been provided with security from Kolkata police.
