In a shocking development for the cricketing fraternity, Bengal and Delhi Capitals wicketkeeper-batsman Abhishek Porel has faced a massive legal setback. The Chinsurah Court on Monday rejected his bail plea and ordered him to be sent to 14 days of judicial custody.

The arrest follows a complaint filed by a young woman, currently studying medicine in Karnataka, who accused Porel of establishing sexual relations under the false pretext of marriage and subsequent misconduct. The Mogra police had previously taken him into three days of police custody before the court's latest order.

Detailed Background of the Case

According to police sources, the duo had been in a relationship for approximately three and a half years. The investigation reveals that the couple had even planned a marriage and had traveled abroad together. A dispute had reportedly occurred about 18 months ago, but no FIR was lodged at that time.

The legal escalation began when the complainant approached the Calcutta High Court. Following the High Court's directive to the Mogra police to effect an immediate arrest, authorities apprehended Porel from Kolkata. He is currently facing multiple charges related to the allegations.
