The Supreme Court-appointed Committee of Administrators (CoA), led by former CAG Vinod Rai, has written a letter to the Board of Control for Cricket in India's (BCCI) Anti-Corruption Unit to investigate the fixing charges against Mohammed Shami.

The CoA has asked the ACU to submit the report within a week, reported ANI.

Shami's wife Hasin Jahan has accused the India pacer of adultery, match-fixing and even attempt to murder.

A case was registered by Kolkata Police against Shami and four others on March 8 on charges of attempt to murder, rape, criminal intimidation, and causing hurt by means of poison after Jahan accused him of multiple extramarital affairs and domestic violence. She also accused the cricketer and his family of physical and mental torture.

Jahan had posted screenshots of Shami's alleged WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger conversations with multiple women on her Facebook account.

She also uploaded photos and phone numbers of the women.

Jahan alleged that Shami, 27, and members of his family had even tried to kill her.

"Everyone in their family used to torture me. His mother and brother used to abuse me. The tortures continued till 2-3 a.m. in the morning. They even wanted to kill me," she alleged.

Shami, who hails from Uttar Pradesh but represents Bengal in domestic tournaments, has denied the allegations, saying it was an attempt to derail his cricketing career.

The pacer found himself out of the Board of Control for Cricket in India 26-member annual contract system, which saw the addition of a new category.
