Delhi Court grants granted interim bail until tomorrow to accused IPL player

New Delhi, May 18 (ANI): A Delhi Court on Friday afternoon granted interim bail until tomorrow to Royal Challengers Bangalore player Luke Pomersbach, who has been accused of assaulting and molesting a U.S. national.

Pomersbach, who was arrested for allegedly molesting an Indian-American woman and severely beating up her fiancee, had earlier fainted inside the Patiala House Court here.

Delhi Police has registered a case against him 27-year-old Pomersbach under various sections of IPC including section 354 of IPC (outraging modesty of woman), 323 (hurt), 454 (house trespass) and 511 (Punishment for attempting to commit offences punishable with imprisonment for life or other imprisonment).

The Indian-American woman, who was allegedly molested by Pomersbach, earlier in the day confirmed developments leading up to the incident late on Thursday night.

"I am not sure about his full name. But he tagged along with us after the party and (insisted) that we have few drinks with him. He told something to my fiancee and I did not like," the victim told reporters here.

The woman said she felt "uncomfortable" by the "dirty, nasty looks" of the cricketer and told her fiancee that he can have drinks with him if he wishes.

"We came up to our room, and I thought to leave the guys alone and walked towards my bedroom, this guy caught hold of me and tried to molest me. My fiance tried to stop him," she said.

"When I tried to turn around and go to my room, he grabbed my hand and tried to kiss me. My fiancee said 'listen, she is not any girl like that. Just leave and go back to your room'," she said.

At this, the player turned around and started beating up him several times and punched him on his face, she alleged.

"He got injured in his ears. He is not able to hear properly. He was bleeding," she said.

She said the IPL player was talking to her fiancee, saying that he wants to have few drinks with us.

"Then we left for our room and we thought he had gone to his room but he came upstairs tagging along with us. He asked us to help him around and telling my fiancee that lets go and have drinks," she said. (ANI)
