Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate Rosina Khan ordered the Sadar Upazila executive officer or UNO to investigate the case after admitting the charges brought by Mosaddek’s wife Sharmin Samira Usha on Sunday.
Mosaddek has been torturing Usha for dowry for a long time, said Rezaul Karim Dulal, her lawyer.
“He (Mosaddek) tortured her and drove her out of home for Tk 1 million in dowry on Aug 15,” the lawyer said.
The middle-order batsman, who made his bow in international cricket in 2016, is in the Bangladesh squad announced for the upcoming Asia Cup tournament.
The 22-year-old married his cousin Usha six years ago.
He did not take calls from bdnews24.com for comments on the case.
“They have been in disagreement since they married,” Mosaddek’s brother Mosabber Hossain Moon said.
Mosaddek sent her a divorce letter on Aug 15, Mosabber said.
But she demanded more money than mentioned in the marriage documents as ‘Denmohar’ or dower, the brother claimed.
“She has started the case after spreading false and misleading information as she did not get the money,” he added.
