Kumble terms Pomersbach incident “unfortunate” – Cricket News Update
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Luke-Pomersbach-c1856, who was arrested on molestation charges today.
“I was on a flight. I just landed and whatever reports I have seen is from the press, media. Luke, so far with the RCB, has been exceptional, but it's an unfortunate incident. It is disappointing,” Kumble said.
“RCB will certainly not play Luke henceforth and we will co-operate with those who are investigating the incident,” he added. “Surely, internally also, we will look into this matter, it's a serious matter.”
The 27-year-old was taken into police custody owing to his alleged molestation of an American woman at a five-star hotel in New http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Delhi-c780, after which he reportedly assaulted her fiancé when he tried to restrain the cricketer. The woman’s fiancé is currently
admitted in a hospital, and has had a http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Christopher-Robert-Taylor-c50989 scan done.
The Aussie batsman was charged under various sections of the IPC, among these section 354 of IPC (outraging modesty of woman), 323 (hurt), and 454 (house trespass).
"We have arrested Luke Pomersbach for assaulting a woman and beating up the fiancé who objected to his action,” Rajan Bhagat, a police spokesman, confirmed to
AFP.
In addition, the left-hander was also suspended by the Royal Challengers’ owner Vijay Mallya, who explained that the player would not be allowed back into the squad until he was cleared of all charges.

The middle-order batsman made a return to the Royal Challengers’ squad this year, following his recovery from a bout of depression which had seen him taking a break from the sport in 2011. However, he has not played a single game for the franchise this season
so far, and with the playoffs stage of the competition scheduled to begin soon, Pomersbach’s chances of making an appearance in the tournament appear slim.
