The court rejected Abhishek's bail application

A young woman pursuing medical education in Karnataka filed a complaint against Abhishek in the police station. The investigation of Abhishek is going on since June 23. After interrogation, the Hooghly (Rural) police took him into custody on August 11 and officially arrested him late on Wednesday night. Porel underwent a mandatory medical examination before being produced in court. He was then produced before the Chinsura court, where a heated verbal exchange ensued between the police and the defense counsel. The court, considering the arguments of the police and the seriousness of the case, refused to grant bail to the cricketer and ordered a 14-day judicial custody.

According to reports, the police visited Abhishek Porel's house several times, but he was not arrested. The student later approached the Kolkata High Court, where the court ordered the police to arrest Abhishek immediately.

According to reports, Abhishek Porel and the alleging student were in a relationship for three years. They had traveled abroad together and even planned to get married. They had an altercation about 18 months ago, which reached the police, but no FIR was registered.
