The other charges recorded against Shami are under Section 307 – attempt to murder, Section 323 – punishment for voluntarily causing hurt, Section 376 – rape, Section 506 – criminal intimidation, Section 328 and Section 34.
"She has complained sleeping pills were given to her in a huge quantity and they were trying to kill her," Praveen Tripathi, Joint Commissioner of Police, Kolkata told ESPNcricinfo.
"Section 328 concerns (an instance where) someone gives you a drug or something similar with the purpose of hurting you. Section 506 is threatening a person. And Section 34 is pressed when more than three to four people are planning to do a serious cognizable offence with a common intention," added Tripathi.
"We are verifying the allegations and collecting the evidence right now," Tripathi concluded.
