Dhaka court on Monday sent Bangladesh fast bowler Shahadat Hossain to prison after he surrendered before the court.
He was accused for assaulting his housemaid. Shahadat’s arrest came two days after police arrested his wife from her relatives’ house in Dhaka.
Shahadat submitted the bail petition before the court of Metropolitan magistrate Mohammad Yusuf Hossain on Monday morning.
The case had been filed against the couple under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act. The court has asked the police to submit its report by October 12.
Shahadat had filed a complaint with Mirpur police saying his housemaid had gone missing on September 6.
