This is really a sad news for me as I was not expecting this from Moin Khan. He looked so simple and innocent.
–
Former cricketer Moin Khan’s wife had him arrested late Monday night for physically abusing her while he was drunk. She called Madadgaar ‘15’ for rescue who took him into custody, but he was released on bail later in the day.
According to the TPO Clifton, Azad Khan, the incident took place around 2am and Moin Khan was heavily drunk when he beat her. As narrated by his wife, Tasneem, Moin also attacked the police officials who had come to arrest him.
Accusing her of having illicit relations with men in his absence, he first verbally abused her and then started beating her severely. Unable to talk properly due to the bruises she suffered, she told The News that this was not the first time Moin had physically abused her.
“He usually beats me whenever he is drunk but last night it just got too much,” said the battered woman who further revealed that her left shoulder joint was dislocated during the beating. Moin Khan was released on bail on Tuesday afternoon but he did not return home.
Instead, he sent his friend to collect his clothes and other belongings from home who informed Tasneem that Moin was moving out.
“I am not at fault and honestly I don’t care if he returns or not. I cannot put up with this abuse any longer,” she said, adding that sooner or later she would file for a divorce.
Unaware of her husband’s sources, Tasneem said that her husband usually accuses her of hanging out with men and abuses her, especially when drunk, without any provocation. The former TV and stage artiste further disclosed that she had given up her career for the sake of her marriage and after repeated accusations from her husband she now plans to reconsider things.
“My story is no different from several other women’s who have been victims of domestic violence. It’s just that in our country if a woman is tortured by her husband she has no right to say anything. It is unfortunate,” said Tasneem.
Moin Khan, however, was not available for comments despite several attempts to contact him.
Shamim Bano adds: Judicial Magistrate Khushi Mohammad granted bail in the sum of Rs10,000 to the former captain of the Pakistan Cricket team on Tuesday.
He was arrested Monday night on his wife’s complaint. The Darakshan, Clifton, police, on the basis of the complaint, arrested and detained him in the lock-up for whole night. Later in the morning, he was produced in the court of the Judicial Magistrate, South, where his attorney, N K Jatoi, told the court that both the parties had reached a compromise and case be withdrawn.
The court, however, said that case would not be withdrawn and the wife of Moin Khan must appear in the court to record her statement. The Advocate, however, pleaded for the grant of bail, a plea that was acceded to in the amount of Rs10,000.
