Calcutta High Court upholds stay on arrest warrant issued against Mohammad Shami in domestic violence case

In her complaint, Jahan stated that she married Shami on April 7, 2014 and a year later, they were blessed with a girl child. After the birth of the child, she alleged that she came to know that her husband is a womanizer and he maintains steady sexual relations with many women. She further claimed that when she protested and raised her voice against such type of activities, he assaulted her on February 28, 2018.

Despite all this, Jahan claims that she tried to give him a chance, but the ill-treatment continued. She alleged that he stopped looking after her daily expenses and went on making baseless allegations against her through interviews to the media. 

Therefore, she lodged a police complaint against him and his family members March 8, 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. The same was challenged before a sessions court, which by an order passed on September 9, 2019, stayed the said proceedings. Jahan then moved the High Court against this order.
