In a recent development, Mohammed Shami, the Indian cricket team's pacer, appeared before poll officials in Kolkata on Tuesday for a hearing concerning discrepancies in his voter registration form.

Shami, who currently resides in Kolkata due to his cricket commitments, submitted the necessary documents at a school located in Bikramgarh. His initial hearing was missed due to his cricketing engagements in Rajkot for the Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Originally from Uttar Pradesh, Shami shifted to Kolkata as advised by his coach at a young age and later joined Bengal's Under-22 team. The Election Commission has also summoned his brother for a similar issue.
