FIR lodged against Mohammad Keef, police investigation into woman's allegations regarding marriage assurance
An FIR has been lodged against Indian cricketer Mohammed Shami's younger brother and domestic cricketer Mohammed Kaif for alleged sexual harassment. A woman has alleged that she was in a relationship with Keough for about three years and that the two spent time together in different cities. According to the woman, Kaif had promised marriage and said that both of them would get married after getting selected in the IPL. However, when the marriage talks did not progress, she complained to the police. The allegations made by the woman are yet to be confirmed in court.
First meeting in 2020
According to the woman, she first met Mohammad Keef in 2020 through a common friend. After this, conversation started between the two through social media. The woman says that initially the liking increased and with time the closeness increased. In 2023, there were more meetings and Keef reportedly started talking about marriage.
The woman claims that their relationship was not limited to mere friendship or meetings, rather both of them lived like wives. According to this, Keef never made him feel that he could step back from this relationship.
Claim to live together in different cities
According to the woman, both of them stayed together in Uttar Pradesh, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Delhi and other places. She used to travel between different states for work, while Keefe used to travel for domestic cricket matches. The woman alleges that Keef used to invite her to match cities also.
The woman told that she used to work in the aviation field, but Keef did not like her job as a clerk. Later, when he worked in Dubai, Keef was reportedly unhappy with him too.
Mention of marriage promises and IP selection
The woman says that during the relationship he talked about marriage several times. Accordingly, Kiff kept telling different times and said that he would get married after getting selected in IPL. When the selection was not done, the woman again raised the issue of marriage, but it is alleged that Kaif's behavior changed and he kept postponing the marriage.
According to reports of September 14, 2026, a case was registered at Lakhni Nagar police station based on the woman's complaint. The complaint alleges that after the assurance of marriage, physical relations were established and Kaif later refused to marry. According to some reports, the woman also said in her complaint that she had physical relations with Kaif at different places.
claim of contact with family members
The woman claims that some members of Kaif's family were aware of their relationship. He has also talked about contact with Mohammed Shami and other family members.
According to this, when the family did not express consent for the marriage, Mohammed Shami called his elder brother on his phone number and allegedly said that the marriage could not take place. This is the woman's allegation and has not been independently verified in available reports.
The woman also said that she had mentioned her relationship with Kaif in a sports channel's broadcast, after which the matter reached the family.
Alleged assurance of marriage in May 2026
According to the woman, in May 2026, Kaif had said that if she removed the post, he would be ready for marriage.
The woman says that she had also met Keef's mother and brother Haseeb at the house of coach Badruddin in Muradabad, where according to her she was not treated well.
In the complaint given to the police, the woman allegedly said that she kept trusting Kaif for a long time because of the assurance of marriage. The complaint also includes the allegation of physical relationship being established on the promise of marriage.
According to the report, the woman told the police that Keef had no objection to her past and his son, after which she trusted him. Later, physical relations were established and when he insisted on marriage, he allegedly kept talking about when the right time would come.
Some reports say that the woman said in her complaint that the promise of marriage was made after the IPL 2025 auction.
Claim of last conversation on 30 May 2026
According to the woman, her last conversation with Kaif was on May 30, 2026. It is said that when she reached Ashiyaanu police station to lodge an FIR, he called Kif from outside the police station and asked if the marriage was still possible. According to the woman, Kaif refused.
Mohammad Keef is associated with cricket and has played domestic cricket. The case has gained attention after the FIR was lodged against him.
Mohammed Shami's personal life has been the subject of public controversy in the past, however, the current FIR pertains to Mohammed Keef and should be seen separately from Shami's previous marital controversy.
Police are investigating the incident
According to Jagran's report, Keef has been living in Bengal for a long time and rarely visits his village. In May 2026, the woman had gone to the family's house in Amruh and met the family.
While investigating the case, the police can examine statements, mobile phones, chat records, call details, hotel and travel records and other evidence including other evidence. Records can also be obtained from cities where the two are claimed to have lived together or met. Wedding-related writing or digital news can also be reviewed.
Filing of FIR does not prove the allegations judicially but marks the beginning of investigation. Police will review the available evidence, including the woman's allegations and the identity of Mohammad Kaif.
At present, the central point of the case is the woman's claim that Kaif lived with her like his wife and that he had promised to marry her. The alleged assurance of marriage after selection in IPL is also an important part of the complaint. The police will determine the facts of the case on the basis of the actual conversation and available evidence. More picture of the case may become clear after investigation, statements and evidence emerge.
