The recent rape case allegations have drowned Abhishek Porel deeper, as he will end up behind bars very soon. On Monday, the Calcutta High Court mandated an immediate arrest and seizure of any electrical devices of the Bengal cricketer on the basis of a medical student's complaint filed citing rape, criminal intimidation, and other serious offenses.
