Bengal and Delhi Capitals wicketkeeper-batter Abishek Porel has been arrested in Hooghly over allegations made by a medical student.

The case involves claims of a relationship on the promise of marriage, intimidation and private recordings.

Bengal cricketer and Delhi Capitals wicketkeeper-batter Abishek Porel has been arrested in Hooghly in connection with a rape case filed by a medical student. The complaint alleges that Porel established a physical relationship with the woman on the promise of marriage.

Porel was taken into custody by police on Tuesday and formally arrested after being questioned. He was subsequently sent for a medical examination and produced before the Chinsurah Court, with the case now moving through the legal process.

“Abishek Porel illegally confined the complainant. He denied her food and deliberately kept her isolated. As a result... the complainant became physically weak and was unable to walk properly.

Despite having a flight... she was compelled to seek immediate medical attention due to the injuries sustained," the FIR against Porel read.

The complaint was filed at Mogra Police Station by the woman, who has alleged that Porel had sexual relations with her after promising to marry her. She has also accused him of recording intimate moments and later intimidating her.

The allegations also include an incident in Delhi on April 2, 2026. According to the complaint, the woman was allegedly confined and denied food, leaving her physically weak and requiring medical attention. These claims are part of the complaint and have not been established in court.
