Shahadat Hossain on the run after allegedly physically abusing 11-year old maid

[OverratedSanity]

Earlier this month, the unnamed girl reported that Shahadat Hossain, a bowler with the Bangladeshi national team, and his wife physically tortured her and left her on a street in the capital, Dhaka, Muntashirul Islam, Deputy Commissioner of Dhaka Metropolitan Police told CNN Tuesday.

According to police, the girl had substantial injuries -- several parts of her body were dislocated, she had swollen eyes, and was bruised extensively. She is now being treated in hospital.

Police said Shahadat and his wife, Nittyo Shahadat, have fled their home in Dhaka, and that resources have been deployed to find and arrest them.

Anyone got any idea what sort of sentence he might face if convicted?

 

[TheJediBrah]

I don't even understand how anything like this could actually happen

Had to hire an 11 year old to clean their house? As adults they really shahadat down by now.

Just some time back, we had a similar case with Rubel Hossain. It then got dropped. What is it with the Bangladesh fast bowlers? Any comments, Energetic?

Pretty common in the Indian subcontinent, is it not?

Did Peter Roebuck ever do any grooming, I mean coaching, over there?

This has been a terrible day here. To read something like this is just unfathomable.

Shahadat is a disgrace. Never ever liked this guy not even as a human being. Something about him is just off. He should be jailed. What a moron.

 

[zaremba]

Hopefully he will be found and will be given a fair trial first...

He and his wife in lots of trouble. Human rights and NGOs are all over it. A stricter new rule got passed in the parliament against these sorts of acts in 2015. I will post it after verification. Other psychos out there should take a valuable lesson from the incident.

In Sri Lanka it's illegal to employ anyone less than 14. Punishment will be 15 year jail sentence. And every child had to be sent to school, otherwise amounts to child abuse.

I do hope the Bangladeshi authorities don't look to Michael Gove for any advice on that one

It may not be legal, but when has that ever stopped anyone?
