"Finally got victory after long battle...": Mohammed Shami's estranged wife Hasin Jahan on HC order concerning alimony
Calcutta High Court has directed Indian pacer Mohammed Shami to pay his estranged wife, Hasin Jahan, and daughter a monthly alimony of Rs 4 lakh as maintenance. Jahan will have to be paid Rs 1.50 lakh per month, while the daughter will get Rs 2.50 lakh per month. Jahan, a former model, married Mohammed Shami in 2014.
The couple had a daughter in 2015. Mohammed Shami and Hasin Jahan separated in 2018 after she accused him of domestic violence. They have been in the midst of a divorce case since and legal battle regarding alimony.
'I am thankful to God that I finally got victory after fighting such a long battle... Now I will be able to give my daughter a good education and maintain her life easily... If you see the life Shami leads, the status he maintains, his earnings, this amount is nothing in comparison to that... We had demanded Rs 10 lakhs from the court around seven years ago. Since then, Shami's income and inflation have both increased,' Hasin Jahan said.
'The status with which he leads his life, my daughter and I also have the right to maintain the same status,' she added.
Jahan's advocate Imtiaz Ahmed confirmed on Wednesday that Shami will be required to pay a monthly alimony of Rs 4 lakh as maintenance to Jahan and said there is a high chance the maintenance might be upgraded to Rs 6 lakh.
Imtiaz Ahmed said it was 'the best moment' for Hasin Jahan.
'From 2018 to 2024, she had been running from pillar to post. Ultimately, it was pronounced in open court yesterday that Rs 1.5 lakh would be provided for Hasin Jahan, Rs 2.5 lakh for the daughter (both to be paid monthly), and that any time the daughter requires assistance, it would be provided by Mohammed Shami,' he said.
'The High Court has directed the trial court to dispose of the main application of the interim order within six months. There is a high chance that when they return to the trial court to conclude the hearing on maintenance, it might be upgraded to Rs 6 lakh because the claim of Hasin Jahan in her maintenance application was for Rs 7 lakh and Rs 3 lakh,' he added.
Earlier, in 2018, Hasin Jahan had accused the cricketer of domestic violence. She had filed a petition in the Alipore court, accusing Shami and his family of harassing her. Jahan had demanded Rs 7 lakh per month from the pacer to maintain the family. (ANI)

Why did al-Qaida linked terrorist group abduct Indians in Mali? Relative shares chilling account
The family of P Venkataraman , a resident of Odisha's Ganjam district and one of the three Indians kidnapped by an al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group in Mali, has said that the abductors are demanding ransom. Speaking to ANI on Saturday, Venkataraman's brother-in-law said, 'Venkat last called me on June 30. He worked at a cement factory in Mali, West Africa. He said the company had restricted their movement because terrorists were nearby. This kidnapping happened on July 1.' Initially, the family was informed that Venkataraman was in police custody following a fire at the factory allegedly set by terrorists. However, they later learned that he had been abducted. 'We got a call from the company saying he and some others were in police custody because terrorists had set the factory on fire. But then international news reports claimed that al-Qaeda had kidnapped people. When we called the company to confirm, they asked us not to leak the information and said the terrorists were demanding ransom,' the brother-in-law said. He added, 'We waited for a few days and then approached the police. I also called and emailed the embassy but got no response. I demand that my brother-in-law be brought back home safely.' Live Events Confirming the incident, Sub-Collector Shibashish Baral told ANI, 'Information about the abduction was reported by the family, and the local administration immediately reached out to them. The government has been informed and is taking necessary steps.' The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) has expressed grave concern over the abduction of the three Indian workers from a factory in Mali's Kayes region. In a statement on Wednesday, the MEA urged Malian authorities to ensure their "safe and expeditious" rescue. 'It has come to the knowledge of the Government of India that many military and government installations at multiple locations in western and central Mali were attacked by terrorists on July 1,' the MEA said. The assault also targeted the Diamond Cement Factory in Kayes, where the Indian nationals were employed. Calling the act 'deplorable,' the MEA condemned the incident and reiterated India's strong opposition to violence against its citizens abroad. It said the Indian embassy in Bamako is in 'close and constant communication' with Malian authorities, law enforcement, and the management of the Diamond Cement Factory, as well as with the families of the abducted individuals.

Former Pakistani Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has asserted that his country had no objection to extraditing terrorists like Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar to India as a "confidence-building measure". However, Bilawal's remark did not go down well with Hafiz Saeed's son, Talha Saeed, who claimed that his comments brought disgrace to Pakistan an interview to Qatar-based Al Jazeera on Friday, Bilawal said Pakistan was ready to extradite "individuals of concern" to India provided New Delhi showed what he called "willingness" to cooperate in the process. He made the remarks while responding to a question about extraditing Hafiz Saeed, the chief of Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) and Jaish-e-Mohammad (JeM) chief Masood Azhar as possible concessions and good-faith gestures to part of a comprehensive dialogue with Pakistan, where terrorism is one of the issues that we discuss, I am sure Pakistan would not be opposed to any of these things," Bilawal, the chairman of the Pakistan People's Party, said. Both LeT and JeM have been banned by Pakistan, according to the National Counter Terrorism Authority (Nacta). While Hafiz Saeed, the 26/11 Mumbai terror attack mastermind, is currently serving a 33-year sentence for terror financing, Masood Azhar, a UN-designated global terrorist, has been proscribed by Azhar, one of India's most-wanted terrorists, has been linked to several major attacks in India, including the 2001 Parliament attack, the 26/11 Mumbai attacks, the 2016 Pathankot airbase assault, and the 2019 Pulwama suicide bombing.

He asserted that prosecuting Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar for cross-border terrorism was difficult due to what he claimed was "noncompliance" from India."India is refusing to comply with certain basic elements that require that conviction to take place. It's important to present evidence within these courts, for people to come over from India to testify, to put up with whatever the counter-accusations will be," he claimed."If India is willing to be cooperative in that process, I am sure there will be no hurdle in extraditing any individual of concern," he to whine about India, Bilawal said that New Delhi's vow to pursue terrorists was a "new abnormal". "This does not serve the interests of Pakistan and it does not serve the interests of India," he on the whereabouts of Hafiz Saeed and Masood Azhar, Bilawal stated that the LeT chief was incarcerated, while Islamabad believes the JeM chief is in is factually not correct that Hafiz Saeed is a free man. He is in the custody of the Pakistani state," he claimed, while adding that Pakistan had been unable to arrest Masood Azhar."It is our belief that he is in Afghanistan. If and when the Indian government shares information that he is on Pakistani soil, we will be more than happy to arrest him," Bilawal SAEED HITS BACKResponding angrily to Bilawal's remark, Talha Saeed, the son of Hafiz Saeed, said the PPP leader shouldn't have given such a statement.

Sivaganga custodial death: Victim Ajith Kumar's brother Naveen alleges he too was beaten; hospitalised for examination
File photo NEW DELHI: Naveen Kumar , the younger brother of Ajith Kumar—who died in alleged police custody in Tamil Nadu's Sivaganga district—was admitted to Government Rajaji Hospital in Madurai for medical examination on Sunday. Naveen complained of pain, swelling, and discomfort in his feet, claiming he too was beaten by the police during questioning. Ajith, a 27-year-old security guard at a village temple, was picked up after a woman visitor accused him of stealing ornaments from her car. The postmortem report confirmed multiple external injuries and internal bleeding in Ajith's brain, heart, and stomach. Though it stopped short of stating the cause of death, it did suggest torture. The autopsy was delayed by more than 18 hours raising further questions about the handling of the case. Ajith's mother, B Malathi, who met him hours before his death, said he was shirtless and trembling. 'I asked him to admit it if he had taken the jewellery. He said in a low voice, 'I didn't take them.' That was the last thing he told me.' The Tamil Nadu government has provided the family with Rs 5 lakh compensation, a house site patta, and a government job. Naveen, who has completed his ITI, has been appointed as a technician at AAVIN, the state milk cooperative. Following massive outrage by opoposition, Chief Minister MK Stalin has ordered a CBI probe. Actor-politician Vijay also met the grieving family, expressing support. Five policemen have been arrested in the case.
