Overview
- The Calcutta High Court issued directions for the immediate arrest of Abishek Porel in an order dated July 14 and told police to trace and detain a second accused connected to Mogra PS FIR No. 346/2026.
- The FIR invokes non‑bailable offences under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, including allegations of rape and criminal intimidation, and the complainant says a physical relationship began on a promise to marry before it deteriorated.
- The petitioner told the court the accused secretly recorded intimate photos and videos and used them to blackmail her, and the state told the court a pen drive seized on July 6 may contain relevant material.
- Police say an investigation is under way and officers have been ordered to file a report detailing steps taken; Porel has denied the allegations and, as of the latest reports, had not been taken into custody.
- The court set a further hearing for August 11 and ordered seizure of the accused's phones, laptops and storage to stop dissemination of intimate material and to allow forensic examination of electronic evidence.
