Team India cricketer Amit Mishra was on Tuesday Oct 27,2015 arrested
here by the city police in connection with a case filed by a woman for
allegedly physically assaulting and abusing her in a hotel room here
last month.
“Mishra was arrested and will be released later (on bail),” DCP (Central) Sandeep Patil told PTI.
The
cricketer was arrested after a nearly three-hour long grilling at
Ashoknagar police station after he appeared before the police complying
with their summons issued last week.
Bengaluru Police
had summoned Mishra to appear before them in a week’s time after
booking him for the charges based on the complaint by the woman lodged
in the Ashoknagar station.
The spin bowler is part of the Indian Test squad for first two Tests against visiting South Africa.
The
woman in her complaint had claimed that she has known Mishra for the
past three years and the alleged incident took place in a hotel room
where the cricketer was staying when he came to the city along with the
Indian team for a training camp last month.
The
complainant had said she went to Mishra’s room in his absence. At that
time, Mishra also came there and (they) had a heated argument following
which, she alleged, the cricketer assaulted her and abused her.
Consequently, an FIR was lodged.
Mishra had been
booked under Indian Penal Code sections including 354 (assault or
criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty).
