Match-fixing charges involving Alishba
Amongst many other charges, Hasin Jahan had accused her husband Mohammed Shami of match-fixing. Hasin had said that Shami took money from a Pakistani woman named Alishba, during their meeting in Dubai, at the insistence of England-based businessman Mohammad Bhai. This allegation, in particular, led the BCCI to hold back Shami's contract and initiate a probe into these charges.
