Mohammed Shami, the renowned cricketer, was summoned for an SIR verification hearing in Kolkata but could not attend due to his cricket commitments. He is currently participating in the Vijay Hazare Trophy, representing Bengal.

The hearing, initially scheduled at a school in Jadavpur, was postponed after Shami's request for new dates, given his participation in the tournament. It has now been rescheduled between January 9 and 11, according to officials.

The cricketer and his brother, Mohammed Kaif, were summoned after incorrectly filling out their voter enumeration forms for Kolkata Municipal Corporation's ward 93. Shami, originally from Uttar Pradesh, has resided in Kolkata for several years due to his cricketing career.
