Delhi Capitals and West Bengal cricketer Abishek Porel was denied bail on Friday in the case of an alleged rape of a medical student. He has been remanded to judicial custody for 14 days.

Porel was arrested on August 11 in Hooghly after being questioned by police in connection with the case filed by a young woman who accused the cricketer of rape, blackmail and other offences.

He was taken into custody and subsequently arrested late Wednesday night. He underwent a medical examination before being produced at the Chinsurah court.

“There was a case lodged against him and a court order to arrest him. He was arrested late last night. He will be produced in court today,” Hooghly (Rural) Superintendent of Police Kunar Bhushan Singh told PTI.

The woman has alleged that Porel entered into a relationship with her after promising to marry her. She further accused him of threatening to circulate objectionable photographs after their relationship broke down. A case was registered against Porel under 19 sections, most of which are non-bailable offences.

The allegations also include an incident in Delhi on April 2, 2026, when the complainant claimed she was illegally confined, denied food and deliberately isolated. According to the FIR, she became physically weak and was unable to walk properly.

The complainant further claimed that their families had discussed marriage, but the relationship deteriorated after she allegedly discovered Porel’s involvement with other women.

The case had earlier come before the Calcutta High Court. Justice Saugata Bhattacharyya directed the Magra Police Station to seize all electronic devices, including Porel’s mobile phone, and submit a report on the investigation. At the August 11 hearing, the police informed the court that Porel had been arrested and would be produced before the Chinsurah court.
