Abishek Porel, the wicketkeeper-batter for the Delhi Capitals, was denied bail by the Chinsurah Court on Friday. He has been placed in 14-day judicial custody following allegations made by a medical student, which led to the registration of a case against him. The court’s decision marks a significant development in this ongoing legal matter.
Porel was arrested by Mogra Police on August 11 after the Calcutta High Court directed authorities to apprehend him in connection with the case. Following the High Court’s directions, Mogra Police arrested Porel on August 11. His bail plea was rejected and he was remanded to judicial custody for 14 days as the investigation continues.
He was subsequently produced before the Chinsurah Court, which had granted three days of police custody for further investigation. He was then produced before the Chinsurah Court, which granted police custody for three days. After the expiry of the police remand, Porel was produced before the court again on Friday.
What is the case against Abishek Porel?
The complainant alleged that she and Porel had been in a relationship for around three years and that he established a physical relationship with her on the promise of marriage, according to reports. The case stems from a complaint filed at Mogra Police station by a medical student from Karnataka. The matter reached the Calcutta High Court after the complainant raised concerns over the progress of the investigation. In July, the court directed the police to arrest Porel and another accused and ordered the seizure of electronic devices, including mobile phones and laptops, amid concerns over the alleged circulation of private material. The ongoing legal proceedings concern allegations made against him, and no finding of guilt has been established by a court at this stage. The investigation remains ongoing.
