India bowler Shami faces arrest over assault claims

New Delhi - Shami is presently in the Caribbean islands as part of the Indian Test team

A court in Kolkata on Monday issued an arrest warrant against India cricketer Mohammed Shami, which gave him 15 days to surrender and apply for bail for alleged domestic violence accusations levelled against him by his estranged wife Hasin Jahan.
The judge of the Alipore court issued the warrant around six months after the police filed a charge sheet in the case against the celebrated cricketer under Section 498A (domestic violence) and 354A (sexual harassment).
Shami is presently in the Caribbean islands as part of the Indian Test team which won the second Test against the West Indies on Monday.
