Cricketer Amit Mishra accused by Bengaluru police over incident in five-star hotel
Bengaluru, India: A police case has been filed against Indian spinner Amit Mishra on the complaint of assault by a Mumbai-based film producer and he has been asked to appear for questioning, police said on Tuesday.
“We have filed an FIR (first information report) against Mishra on the basis of the complaint Vandana filed on September 27 and issued a notice asking him to appear before our investigating officer within a week,” Bengaluru Deputy Commissioner of Police Sandeep Patil told reporters.
According to the complaint, Mishra abused and assaulted Vandana with a kettle at a five-star hotel on September 25.
“We have also sent a copy of the notice to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in Mumbai, as Mishra was attending a preparation camp the board held in the city for the Indian team,” Patil said.
As Vandana had known Mishra over the last three years, she went to meet him at the hotel where he was staying during the camp.
The right-arm spinner plays for the Indian team in Tests, One Day Internationals and Twenty20s.
