Mohammed Shami's rumoured Pakistani girlfriend finally speaks, rejects charges of Hasin Jahan

New Delhi, March 19: India pacer Mohammed Shami's estranged wife Hasin Jahan had accused the cricketer of being involved in match-fixing with the help of a Pakistani girl named Alishba.

Jahan had further alleged that Alishba was one of the girls with whom the Bengal cricketer had illicit relationships and that the duo was in touch with a bookie named Mohammed Bhai, whom she alleged gave Shami the money to fix games.

After accusing the 27-year-old UP-born cricketer of multiple extra-marital affairs, Jahan had made the serious charges of match-fixing by the cricketer, following which the anti-corruption unit of the BCCI began its investigation.

Meanwhile, the above mentioned Pakistani girl, whom Jahan has accused of having an affair with Shami and colluding with him in the illegal trade, has now spoken up on the issue.

In an interview to ABP News, Alishba has stressed that she is just a fan of the Indian cricketer and junked the allegations of sexual relations with the pacer and match-fixing. Alishba has maintained that she came in contact with the speedster on social media after 2017 Champions Trophy and they became friends.

"I am one of his followers, which is how I became Shami's friend. Just like he has lakhs of followers, I am one among those normal fans. I have sent him messages," Alishba was quoted as saying by the private news channel as saying.

"As a person, I really like Shami. As any fan that has idolised a celebrity, they always dream of meeting their idol. I have a lot of respect for him and we became good friends. We had a normal conversation," she was quoted further as saying.

She further admitted to have met the cricketer in Dubai but that was just friendly meeting and nothing else.

Earlier on Sunday (March 18), Shami rubbished all the allegations made by his wife and stressed that he will co-operate with the police and also maintained at the same time that he'll come out clean.

"My wife is unable to prove half of the allegations she has put on me. Now, I want to see to what extent she can go. I tried to solve the issue for seven to eight days, but she openly said she does not want to, so now I also do not have any option but to take this up legally," the 28-year-old pacer told ANI.

Shami has been charged under various non-bailable and bailable sections of the IPC, including Section 307 (attempt to murder) and Section 376 (rape) of the Indian Penal Code after his wife filed a police complaint against the cricketer.
