The 23-year-old was taken into custody by police from Emami City, located under the Dum Dum police station, according to Hooghly Rural police SP Kunwar Bhushan Singh. This arrest followed a police complaint lodged in June by a woman who alleged that Porel had engaged in a sexual relationship under false pretenses of marriage and subjected her to assault and intimidation.
The woman and her mother filed the complaint at the Mogra Police Station in Hooghly district.
