Cricketer Shahadat on 3-day remand

A Dhaka Court on Thursday put cricketer Shahadat Hossain on three-day remand in an assault case.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Yusuf Hossain passed the order after hearing on the case in presence of the alleged cricketer.

Earlier on Tuesday, police sought a seven-day remand for the 29-year-old cricketer.

On Monday, the court sent the national cricketer to jail shortly after he surrendered to a court over allegations of beating a11-year-old maid.

In the day Shahadat surrendered before the Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Court requesting bail but the court denied the bail request.

Shahadat Hossain surrendered to the court a day after his wife Jesmin Jahana was arrested from Dhaka’s Malibagh residence.

On 6 September, an assault case was filed against Shahadat and his wife Jesmin with the Mirpur Model Police Station for allegedly beating a minor.

Shahadat has played 51 one-day internationals and 38 Tests for Bangladesh since he went into hiding more than three weeks ago.
