India pace bowler Mohammed Shami has been ordered to pay a monthly alimony of Rs 50,000 to estranged wife Hasin Jahan by a Kolkata court. Jahan had made several allegations against the Shami four years ago.

After the court order, Jahan was not happy with the alimony amount that Shami is supposed to pay, as she demanded Rs 10 lakh per month from him.  In 2018, Jahan filed a legal case seeking a monthly alimony of Rs 10 lakh, which included Rs 7 lakh for personal expenses and Rs 3 lakh for the maintenance of their daughter.

The verdict was delivered on Monday, January 23, by Alipore court judge Anindita Ganguly.

In 2018, Hasin filed an official complaint at Jadavpur Police station accusing Shami of adultery and domestic abuse. Shami was then slapped with non-bailable charges of domestic abuse and attempt to murder.

Hasin Jahan claimed that the cricketer and his family tortured her whenever they went to his hometown in Uttar Pradesh.
“You can ask the neighbours how they (Shami’s family) behaved with me. I was silent because he has been asking for a divorce for two years. He has been torturing me, he tried everything to make me leave him,” Hasin Jahan said.

Jahan also claimed that Shami was threatening her over phone using different phone numbers.

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

Shami had told a media house that he was ready to apologise to Jahan if her allegations of infidelity and domestic abuse were proven to be true.

Jahan is likely to appeal the ruling to a higher court for more payment
