Pomersbach given a day's bail

New Delhi, May 18 (PTI) Australian cricketer Luke Pomersbach, arrested on charges of molesting an Indian American woman in a hotel here last night, was today granted interim bail for a day by a Delhi court. There was drama during the 30-minute proceedings, when the 27-year-old batsman, playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in India's IPL cricket tournament, complained of uneasiness and fainted while the victim broke down when she narrated the incident. Policemen took him outside the court room and gave him water after which he regained composure to come back to the court room made stuffy by the crowd of lawyers, journalist and onlookers. Pomersbach, who has had a history of brawls and brush with police in his country, and accused of outraging the modesty of a woman here last night after a post-match party, was granted relief by Metropolitan Magistrate Navita Kumari Bagha till tomorrow. The Magistrate directed the Delhi Police to bring the CCTV footage from the hotel tomorrow along with the medical records showing the nature of injury caused to the woman's fiance Sahil, who is admitted in ICU in a private hospital here after being allegedly beaten by Pomersbach.
