The Hooghly Court has remanded Porel to police custody for three days. Police have registered a case under various sections of the BNS (Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita) and the IT Act. However, Porel has denied the allegations, terming them completely false. All eyes are now on the further investigation and legal proceedings in the matter.
