Shami escapes with minor injuries in road accident near Dehradun

By The Assam Tribune

DEHRADUN, March 25: India pacer Mohammed Shami has escaped with minor injuries after being involved in a road accident while travelling from Dehradun to New Delhi.

Shami, who is in the Delhi Daredevils IPL team, was returning to New Delhi from Dehradun in a car yesterday when it collided with a truck.

Shami sustained minor injuries and got a few stitches on his head. He is currently recuperating in Dehradun. He is out of danger.

The 27-year-old Shami trained for two days at the Abhimanyu Cricket Academy (ACA), run by Bengal batsman and India �A� player Abhimanyu Easwaran�s father in Dehradun to rejuvenate himself mentally and physically. He had claimed that he has been under �mental torture� after his wife Hasin Jahan lodged a complaint of domestic violence and infidelity against him. Shami has denied all the allegations.

�Mohammed Shami is safe and sound. He was returning to Delhi from Dehradun after training when there was a minor collision with his car. He was taken to the hospital and got a few stitches on his head. He is perfectly fine and advised rest for a day. He is at a private place after being discharged yesterday only. He will return to Delhi tomorrow if health permits. There is no such injury which can hamper his participation in IPL,� Abhimanyu�s father Easwaran RP told PTI today.

Shami has been booked under various non-bailable, including attempt to murder, and bailable sections of the Indian Penal Code. Jahan has also alleged that Shami had taken money from a Pakistani woman named Alishba on the insistence of an England-based businessman, Mohammad Bhai.

A few days back, the BCCI had cleared Shami�s central contract after its Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU) exonerated him of corruption charges levelled by his wife Jahan.

Shami has been given a Grade �B� annual contract, which will make him richer by Rs 3 crore. He will also be free to play in the Indian Premier League for his franchise � the Delhi Daredevils, starting April 7. � PTI
