Here are the details of what has happened so far:

* Jahan made startling claims on Tuesday when she posted screenshots of Shami's alleged WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger conversations with multiple women on her Facebook account.

* Jahan also uploaded photos and phone numbers of the women and alleged that Shami, 27, and members of his family had even tried to kill her.

* Speaking to TOI outside her apartment in Jadavpur, Jahan said she had recently found a smartphone hidden in Shami's car which had "objectionable" chats, photographs and videos.

* Shami dismissed the accusations of infidelity as a campaign to defame him.

* As a result, Shami got dropped by the BCCI from a list of 26 contracted players. His name was not on the list despite his starring role in India's only Test win in the recent South Africa tour.

* Shami responded to the developments by posting a Tweet at 11.13am on Tuesday.




* Jahan on Thursday met senior cops in her lawyer's presence and according to Joint commissioner (crime) Praveen Tripathi, she told them in detail about the trouble between her and Shami but did not lodge any official complaint.

* Jahan's lawyer Zakir Hussain said she was still hoping Shami would change before taking any legal action.

* Jahan on Thursday lodged a written complaint with the police against the cricketer, alleging domestic violence and infidelity.

* A case was registered on Friday under non-bailable sections 307 (attempt to murder), 498-A (subjecting a woman to cruelty) and 376 (punishment for rape) against Shami along with four others who have been booked under bailable sections 323 (causing hurt) and 506 (criminal intimidation).
