Look at his lifestyle: Mohammed Shami's estranged wife Hasin demands ₹10 lakh every month after ₹4 lakh court order

Mint11 hours ago
Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami has been ordered by the Calcutta High Court to pay ₹ 4 lakh every month in alimony to his estranged wife Hasin Jahan and their daughter. This ruling marks a major step in the legal battle between the two, which has continued for over six years.
According to the court's decision, Shami will have to pay ₹ 1.5 lakh to Jahan and ₹ 2.5 lakh for the upkeep of their daughter each month.
Shami and Jahan, who tied the knot in 2014, have been fighting a bitter legal case since 2018. Jahan had accused Shami of domestic violence and infidelity. Speaking to PTI after the judgment, Jahan welcomed the decision but said the amount was still not enough considering Shami's wealth.
"The way he leads his lifestyle, ₹ 4 lakh is less. We demanded ₹ 10 lakh four years ago. The cost of living has increased now. And we will demand it again. This judgment is a big win for me. I'm thankful to Imtiaz bhai (Jahan's advocate) and the Hon'ble Judge of the High Court. But I still think we should be getting a higher amount of money so I can take care of our daughter and meet her needs,' Jahan told PTI.
Her lawyer Imtiaz Ahmed also called the verdict an important win but said they would push for a higher amount during the final hearing.
'There is a high chance that when they return to the trial court to conclude the hearing on maintenance, it might be upgraded to ₹ 6 lakh because the claim of Hasin Jahan in her maintenance application was for ₹ 7 lakh and ₹ 3 lakh,' Ahmed was quoted as saying by NDTV.
The couple's legal fight began in 2018 when Jahan filed a case against Shami and his family in the Alipore court, accusing them of domestic abuse. At that time, the court had ordered Shami to pay ₹ 80,000 per month as interim support for their daughter.
Shami has mostly stayed silent about the case in public. For now, he is legally required to pay the ₹ 4 lakh every month, though the final maintenance amount will be decided after the trial court hearing.

Our current concern is probe progress, submit case diary and report, HC tells state

Kolkata: The Calcutta High Court on Thursday directed the state to submit a report on the progress of the investigation into the campus rape and the case diary. The incident is being probed by the Kolkata Police detective department, along with an SIT, and the survivor's counsel told the court "she was getting all support from the SIT". The matter will be next heard on July 10. You Can Also Check: Kolkata AQI | Weather in Kolkata | Bank Holidays in Kolkata | Public Holidays in Kolkata Two PILs were filed before the division bench of Justice Soumen Sen and Justice Smita Das De, seeking a probe by a court-monitored SIT or CBI. In the PILs, the petitioner questioned the "unfettered entry" of accused Monojit Mishra, a former student, to the campus, especially beyond academic hours. The rape reportedly took place between 7.30 pm and 10.50 pm inside the guard's room beside the students' union room. The petitioners also pointed at the absence of CCTV cameras, lack of gender-sensitive safety protocols and institutional indifference in the violation of Articles 14, 15, 19, and 21 of the Constitution. Justice Sen asked for a response from the college administration over the litigants' allegations. State counsel Kalyan Banydopadhyay told the judge, "We have done everything. After an FIR was registered, within three hours, a woman police officer arrested the prime accused." The judge clarified that at this point, the HC's only concern was the probe's progress. It was pointed out that the survivor's family was not made a party in the case. Arindam Jana, representing the family, said they prayed to be added as a party, and that the survivor's identity should not be revealed at any cost. The advocate-on-record for the family is Yuvraj Chatterjee. Bandyopadhyay told the court that a few girls from the college had been shown on channels and social media, which might have created an impression that one of them was the survivor. "It demeans the modesty of the survivor and the female, who have been shown with a mistaken identity. If required, an advisory shall be issued by the state home department to all media houses and to lodge appropriate complaints if in the social media any such attempt is made to confuse the survivor's identity," the judge directed. One of the PILs filed by Souma Subhra Ray had an error and was dismissed. The state counsel said the petition seemed to have been copy-pasted. Justice Sen asked the petitioner to re-file the plea.

How India's BrahMos Strike On Nur Khan Airbase Brought Pakistan To The Brink

New Delhi: A single missile. Thirty seconds. That is all Pakistan had when India's BrahMos slammed into the Nur Khan Airbase – just minutes from Islamabad. No early warning. No clear warhead signature. No time to guess whether it carried a conventional payload or a nuclear one. Rana Sanaullah Khan, special assistant to Pakistan's Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif, went public. He said that 30-second window nearly sparked a nuclear chain reaction. His words were not laced with bravado. They carried the tremor of a nation that found itself facing the unthinkable. "The Pakistani government had just 30-45 seconds to analyse whether the missile has any atomic payload. To make such a decision in just 30 seconds is a dangerous thing," Khan said during a televised interview. When India launched that BrahMos – what Khan mistakenly called 'Harmus' – the Pakistani high command scrambled. Inside Nur Khan, alarms rang. Pilots rushed to cockpits. Radar units lit up. In war rooms, generals debated retaliation. But the warhead was non-nuclear. Delhi was not pressing the red button yet. Still, that moment tore open Islamabad's biggest fear – a precise and rapid Indian strike that could knock out critical nodes before Pakistan had time to retaliate. Nur Khan is not any airbase. It lies inside a dense military ecosystem – adjacent to VIP terminals, near Islamabad's civilian airport and dangerously close to Pakistan's nuclear brain – the Strategic Plans Division. That division does not just manage warheads. It plans for survival. It monitors threats. It guards command centres. A hit this close, even with a conventional weapon, rattled nerves at the very top. Khan, in a recent interview, said U.S. President Donald Trump helped stop it from spiraling. He credits the former him with stepping in, easing tensions and pulling the region back from the edge. India has pushed back on that narrative. Officials say it was Pakistan's own DGMO who reached out first desperate to avoid escalation after the BrahMos strike exposed their air defenses. That night, Indian jets, apart from Nur Khan, targeted other airbases too. Runways were cratered. Refueling assets were disabled. By morning, Islamabad had lost air dominance over key northern sectors. And with each passing hour, Pakistan's retaliatory options narrowed. The Nur Khan base, once RAF Station Chaklala, has long been a high-value asset. It hosts Pakistan's key transport squadrons, refueling aircraft and serves as the main VIP air terminal for military brass and state leaders. More importantly, it is nestled in the shadow of Islamabad's strategic district where the lines between civilian governance and nuclear command blur. The base is also less than a dozen kilometers from what many believe are Pakistan's forward nuclear storage units. According to reports by The New York Times and other Western intelligence sources, Nur Khan base is critical to Pakistan's nuclear deployment network. That is what made the BrahMos impact so dangerous. It was not only a hole in a tarmac. It was a message – a demonstration of India's reach, precision and willingness to target assets deep inside enemy territory. Pakistan, which maintains a policy of ambiguity over its nuclear doctrine, had to read between the lines. Was this a decapitation attempt? A soft warning? Or a trial run for a bigger operation? Khan's admission changes the narrative. For the first time, a sitting Pakistani official has acknowledged how close the country came to misreading India's intent and launching something far more devastating in response. This was a moment where miscalculation could have meant mushroom clouds. India's no-first-use doctrine remains intact. But New Delhi has redefined how conventional superiority can be used for coercive diplomacy. A strike like Nur Khan is a geopolitical signal. As for Trump, Pakistan's Field Marshal Asim Munir has already floated the idea of a Nobel Peace Prize for him. That may be diplomatic theatre. But it also shows how rattled Rawalpindi was and how badly they wanted to de-escalate without looking weak. Today, Nur Khan base still stands. But its scars run deeper than concrete. They live in the brief seconds when Pakistan's leadership stared into the nuclear abyss and waited.
