Mohammed Shami's wife Hasin Jahan has filed a domestic violence case against the pacer at Kolkata's Alipore court.
Shami had already been charged with several non-bailable offences, including attempt to murder and criminal intimidation, but no action was taken against him.
Jahan has accused him of adultery and torture and now made the plea for interim maintenance of her and their daughter, Republic reported.

Shami and Jahan grabbed headlines last month, when she posted screenshots of his messages with women as well as his photos with purported girlfriends on Facebook.
His family abused her and "even wanted to kill me," she said.
Shami dismissed these allegations, saying Jahan had lost her mental balance and was trying to sabotage his career.
He will take appropriate legal action, he said.

But since no action was taken, Jahan met West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and BCCI President CK Khanna seeking quicker resolution.
However, Khanna refused help, saying it's a personal matter and "should be settled within the family."
"It would be in the interest of all, because he's in the team and we would like him to perform well" in upcoming matches, Khanna had said.

Incidentally, Shami has drastically changed his stance. One day, he released recordings of a purported phone call with Jahan, where he's heard requesting her to resolve the matter and focus on the family.
The next day, he claimed Jahan had hidden her first husband and their two children from him.
Shami is currently busy with the IPL and the forthcoming England series.
