From India Today Web Desk: Indian pace bowler Mohammed Shami has been ordered by a Kolkata court to pay Rs 50,000 a month alimony to estranged wife Hasin Jahan. Jahan made several allegations against the right-arm pacemaker four years ago.

According to the court order, Jahan was not happy with the amount of alimony Shami was asked to pay as she demanded Rs 10 lakh per month from the Indian pacer. In 2018, Jahan filed a lawsuit demanding a monthly alimony payment of Rs 10,000, including Rs 7,000 for personal expenses and Rs 3,000 for the maintenance of her daughter.

Jahan is likely to appeal the verdict in a higher court for more payment. The verdict was delivered by Alipore Court Judge Anindita Ganguly on Monday 23 January.

Timeline of Shami’s argument with Jahan

All the spat started when Hasin filed an official complaint with Jadavpur Police Station accusing Shami of adultery and domestic violence. Following the complaint, Shami was hit with non-repayable charges of domestic violence and attempted murder.

Hasin Jahan claimed the cricketer and his family tortured them when they went to his hometown in Uttar Pradesh. “Yes, whenever I went to UP,” Jahan had told India Today when asked if Shami’s family had tortured her too. “You can ask the neighbors how they (Shami’s family) treated me. I have been silent because he has been asking for a divorce for two years. He tortured me, he tried everything to make me leave him,” added Jahan.

Jahan also claimed that Shami threatened her over the phone on different phone numbers.

However, Shami always denied Jahan’s claims and even took to social media to say the allegations were false and said it was a conspiracy to defame him.

Hi
I am Mohammad Shami.
This little news can go on without regard to our personal lives, it’s all up in the air, there’s a lot of things to prepare for us, or it’s trying to make me bad or spoil my game. — Mohammad Shami (@MdShami11) March 7, 2018

Shami had told India Today he was ready to apologize to Jahan if her allegations of infidelity and domestic abuse were proven to be true.
