# Delhi Capitals cricketer Abishek Porel denied bail, sent to 14-day judicial custody 2026-08-15T15:58:50+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Chinsurah District Court in Hooghly on Friday denied bail to Delhi Capitals and Bengal wicketkeeper-batter Abishek Porel in an alleged rape case, sending the 23-year-old into judicial custody for 14 days. Porel was produced before the court after the completion of three-day police custody. The FIR was filed by a Karnataka-based medical student at the Mogra Police Station on June 23 under multiple sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including charges of rape, murder threat, forceful confinement, and cheating, as well as sections of the IT Act. Superintendent of Police Hooghly (Rural) said most charges against Porel are non-bailable and sensitive. The cricketer has denied all allegations. This order follows an earlier rejection of Porel's anticipatory bail application. He was arrested on Monday from Emami City following a Calcutta High Court direction on July 21 to take him into custody immediately and seize his electronic devices. ## Coverage - sportstar.thehindu.com This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
