Speaking to local media over the phone from Bengaluru, the 22-year-old said there was no truth in the accusations. He also claimed that such allegations were surfacing because he had been performing well on the cricket field.

Delhi Capitals wicket-keeper batsman Abishek Porel has been accused of having a physical relationship with a woman on the false promise of marriage. As per reports from Anandabazar Patrika, a medical student from Karnataka has lodged a complaint against the Bengal cricketer at Mogra Police Station in West Bengal's Hooghly district.

According to police, the woman alleged that she and Porel were in a relationship for nearly three years and had planned to get married. She claimed that problems developed between them around one-and-a-half years ago. While the matter had reportedly reached the police earlier, no formal complaint was filed at that time.
