Earlier, a senior official at the chief minister’s office had said that Jahan has been asked to meet the CM at the state assembly on Friday.

“She has been directed to come alone without her lawyer or anybody from her family,” the official had added.

The move came after Jahan went to Banerjee’s Kalighat residence on Monday and submitted a petition seeking time to meet.

Jahan had gone to Banerjee’s residence soon after recording her statement before the magistrate.

She had lodged a complaint with the police alleging domestic violence and infidelity against him.

Jahan had also alleged that Shami had taken money from a Pakistani woman named Alishba on the insistence of an England-based businessman, Mohammad Bhai.

She had also sent documents related to her complaints against her husband to the Board of Control for Cricket in India’s (BCCI) Committee of Administrators (CoA) chairman Vinod Rai for a probe into her allegations of corruption.
