Al-Amin Hossain's wife files complaint against him on accusation of beating her up
Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Mirpur Model Police Station Mostafizur Rahman confirmed the matter to The Business Standard (TBS).
Allegations of dowry and abuse have been made against national team cricketer Al-Amin Hossain by his wife Israt Jahan via a written complaint at Mirpur Model Police Station on Thursday.
She has also accused him of bringing a woman home and marrying a second time without taking permission.
Officer-in-Charge (OC) of Mirpur Model Police Station Mostajizur Rahman confirmed the matter to The Business Standard (TBS). He said that the case against Al-Amin has not been accepted yet. The complaint is under investigation and a case will be registered after verification.
Mostajizur Rahman said, "Today we received a written complaint. Cricketer Al-Amin's wife made it. We are investigating the complaint. The case will be registered on the basis of the advice of the senior officials and confirmation of the truth of the complaint."
In the written complaint, Israt mentioned that on 25 August at approximately 10 pm, Al-Amin returned home and asked if she had brought Tk 20 lakh as dowry. Al-Amin started beating Israt badly when she said that it was not possible for her father to pay so much money. After calling 999, police admitted Israt to the emergency department of a local hospital as she was bleeding.
Israt mentioned in the complaint that she had been physically and mentally abused many times in the past by her husband. Al Amin did not pick up the phone when TBS tried to contact him regarding the matter. Al-Amin and Israt have two sons.
Israt spoke to the media after complaining to the police station. She said, "Al-Amin often brought a girl home. He claimed that he married that girl. But I didn't find any evidence. He would demand dowry and beat me."
Despite complaining, Israt wants to continue her family with Al Amin for the sake of her children. However, he said that Al Amin needs to correct his behaviour. "I want to have a family with him thinking about my sons. But he has to leave everything and be with me," she concluded.
The right-arm pacer, who last played a match for the country in March last year, was punished for such acts before. He was fined heavily for bringing female guests to the hotel during the BPL.
