The alleged molestation row took a new turn when American national, who has accused RCB player Luke Pomersbach of molesting her, said that an Indian member of IPL\u2019s Team Bangalore allegedly helped accused cricketer Luke Pomersbach, first when the Australian tried to enter the victim\u2019s room a second time and again by warning her to drop the case. <\/p>\n
The victim, Zohal Hamid, told Times Of India <\/strong>that a \u201cskinny Indian guy\u201d had tried to get Pomersbach into her room after he had attempted to molest her and attacked her partner Sahil Peerzada. The same man, she said, approached her at Primus Hospital later that day, and asked her to withdraw the charges against his teammate. <\/p>\n Based on CCTV footage, police have identified the cricketer as K P Appanna, a left-arm spinner from Karnataka who has played several games for Team Bangalore in the current IPL season. Despite several attempts, the team management could not be contacted on phone, and did not answer an emailed questionnaire on Appanna\u2019s alleged role in the affair. Delhi Police officials said they would investigate the matter. <\/p>\n Meanwhile according to a report in The DNA, <\/strong>Luke Pomersbach, on Monday submitted to a Delhi court his bail bond and other relevant documents to meet the conditions on which he was granted bail on Saturday.<\/p>\n The 27-year-old batsman, playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL, appeared before Metropolitan Magistrate Navita Kumari Bagha and also submitted the details of a second person, who stood as a surety for him.<\/p>\n The court, which had enlarged Pomersbach on bail on a personal bond of Rs30,000 along with two sureties of the like amount, accepted his surety bond and other relevant documents.<\/p>\n Meanwhile according to a report in Hindustan Times, <\/strong>former cricketer and MP Kirti Azad on Sunday sat on a hunger strike to protest the way the IPL is being managed, following a series of controversies that have hit the tournament. \u201cI\u2019m not against the IPL, but the way it is run. There is no transparency, accountability or discipline. Why doesn\u2019t all this indiscipline happen in Test, one-day or domestic cricket matches,\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The alleged molestation row took a new turn when American national, who has accused RCB player Luke Pomersbach of molesting her, said that an Indian member of IPL\u2019s Team Bangalore allegedly helped accused cricketer Luke Pomersbach, first when the Australian tried to enter the victim\u2019s room a second time and again by warning her to […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[4560,2208,4487,2978,4559],"class_list":["post-6410","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-from-the-newspapers","tag-k-p-appanna","tag-kirti-azad","tag-luke-pomersbach","tag-royal-challengers-bangalore","tag-zohal-hamid"],"yoast_head":"\n
