My Client Never Made Match-Fixing Claims On Mohammed Shami: Hasin Jahan’s Lawyer
Mar 23, 2018 at 3:31 PM
Few hours after BCCI gave a clean chit to Mohammed Shami, Hasin Jahan’s lawyer that his client had never verbally or in written made match-fixing allegations against the pacer.
Meanwhile, yesterday BCCI cleared Shami of any charges of match-fixing and gave him a Grade B contract. As a result, Shami will now earn Rs 3 crore from BCCI annually.
BCCI in a statement confirmed that ACU head Neeraj Kumar submitted his confidential report to the CoA. Further, they felt that there was no need for further action under BCCI’s Anti-Corruption Unit.
Disappointed with the decision, Hasin Jahan’s lawyer Zakir Hussain asked, what parameters were BCCI’s investigations based on. He also added that his client’s allegation was never about match-fixing.
“My client’s allegation was never about match-fixing. I cannot raise any allegation on BCCI, but I want to know on what basis and parameters was BCCI’s investigation based. We never made direct allegations of match-fixing on Mohammed Shami. Neither verbally nor in written,” Hussain told the reporters.
Meanwhile, last week CoA head Vinod Rai gave a seven days deadline to BCCI’ ACU head Neeraj Kumar to submit his reports. These directions came after Shami’s wife Hasin Jahan charged him with adultery and match-fixing.
Meanwhile, Jahan also filed a case with Kolkata Police who has booked Shami under various sections. However, Shami has denied all the allegations.
