Hasin Jahan reached her husband's house in Sahaspur Ali Nagar village late on Sunday night. When her in-laws asked her to leave. she locked herself and her child in a room.
The police were called. When the police failed to bring a truce between the warring parties, they took Hasin Jahan into custody.
Speaking to reporters, Hasin Jahan said: "I have come to my husband's house and I have every right to stay here. My in-laws are misbehaving with me and the police is supporting them. They should have arrested them but they are taking me to the police station."
Jahan accused the police officials of harassing her by following directions of her cricketer-husband.
"I was picked up by the police at 12 in the night from my in-laws house. The house is owned by my husband and I have its keys. They have unnecessarily locked me and my daughter here. We haven't had anything to eat and drink since last evening. They are harassing us for no reason. This is clear injustice," she said.
After the couple had a bitter fallout last year, Jahan had made stunning claims, accusing Shami of match-fixing saying he was spending time with a Pakistani woman in Dubai and taking money from her. Shami was probed by the anti-corruption officials of the BCCI in which he wasn't found guilty.
Jahan had last year joined the Congress party in Mumbai presence of senior party leader Sanjay Nirupam.
Mohd Shami is currently busy with IPL. He is a member of the Kings XI Punjab.
