Delhi Capitals cricketer Abishek Porel arrested over rape allegation, woman claims he promised to marry her

A case has been registered against Abishek under multiple sections of the BNS and IT Act, including Sections 69, 311, 318, 66 and 72. He is expected to be produced before the Chinsurah court on Tuesday itself.

"There was a case lodged against him and a court order to arrest him. He was arrested late last night. He will be produced in court today," Hooghly (Rural) Superintendent of Police Kunar Bhushan Singh told PTI.

On June 23, a medical student from Karnataka lodged a complaint against Abishek at the Mogra Police Station in Hooghly, alleging that the cricketer established a sexual relationship with her on the false promise of marriage and subsequently subjected her to assault and criminal intimidation. The complaint was filed by the woman and her mother.
