Reports of Shahadat Hossain ‘torturing’ maid ‘embarrass’ BCB
Maid that Shahadat claimed was missing surfaces to accuse him, wife of torture
The pacer will have to stay off all cricket activities until the charges filed against him under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act are settled.
BCB CEO Nizam Uddin Chowdhury said police were investigating allegations of child abuse against Hossain.
“It’s a sub-judice matter,” he told reporters on Sunday. “The board has made a decision. The pacer will remain suspended from BCB cricket activities until investigating authorities give a report and the matter is resolved,” he added.
Hossian and his wife are on the run after being accused of torturing an 11-year old maid.
After the case was started on Sep 6, Chowdhury dubbed the episode “unfortunate” and said the board was “utterly embarrassed” at Hossain’s implication in the case.
His parents came to the BCB office seeking help last Tuesday and Wednesday.
