The Calcutta High Court directs West Bengal police to trace and arrest Delhi Capitals cricketer Abishek Porel in a criminal case involving allegations of rape and criminal intimidation. Multiple reports say the court also orders the seizure of Porel’s electronic devices, including devices used for storage, as part of the investigation. The case stems from a complaint lodged by a woman who alleges that she and Porel were in a relationship and had planned to get married. According to reports, she claims issues began about a year and a half before the complaint and that the matter was previously brought to police without a formal case being filed at that time. The complaint, filed at a police station in Hooghly district, includes allegations of rape on a false promise of marriage, along with assault and criminal intimidation. Some reports also state that the intimidation allegation involves threats to share intimate images or videos. Porel is described as facing offences under non-bailable provisions, and the investigation is ongoing. Porel has denied the allegations, and no official findings have been reported so far.
