On Wednesday, Ishrat Jahan, wife of cricketer Al-Amin Hossain, filed another case on Wednesday seeking maintenance of her and children.
Metropolitan Magistrate Md Shafiuddin recorded statement of the complainant after hearing and asked the cricketer to appear before the court on September 27.
Ishrat Jahan filed the case demanding Tk 1,00,000 as maintenance per month under sections 15(1)(A)(B) (C)/ 16(5)(6) of Domestic Violence (Prevention and Protection) Act, 2010.
According to the case, Ishrat and Al-Amin got married in 2012 and they have two school-going sons. For the past two years, Al-Amin was allegedly staying away from home and not providing the family necessary maintenance.
Besides, Al-Amin admitted to having an affair, and refused to live with his wife and children to maintain them, said the petitioner. The victim filed the case seeking a remedy to live peacefully and demanded payment of her children’s regular expenses from their father.
Earlier, on September 1, Police rescued the victim along with her children upon receiving information from National Helpline Number 999.
A complaint was lodged with the Mirpur Model Police Station alleging that Al-Amin tortured and beat his wife in demand of dowry.
