The Delhi Police are examining the closed-circuit television camera footage to identify the five persons who had allegedly threatened the US national to kill her if she did not retract the complaint she had made against IPL cricketer Luke Pomersbach accusing him of having molested her and assaulting her fiancé a few days ago.
The police said they were yet to record the statement of Miraz, a friend of the victim's fiancé Sahil Peerzada, who is an eye-witness in the case. Investigations have so far revealed that he was inside the five-star hotel suite when Pomersbach allegedly molested the woman and injured Sahil when he intervened and asked him to leave. “He went to Mumbai soon after the incident. We have contacted him through e-mail and if necessary, would issue a notice seeking his assistance in the investigation. He was supposed to meet us on Tuesday, but he did not turn up,” said a police officer.
The police have recorded statements of the other witnesses, including Royal Challengers Bangalore player K. P. Appanna who was spotted with Pomersbach when the latter went to the victim's suite for the second time and allegedly banged the door in an attempt to make a forced entry. Sahil's fiancée alleged that Appanna had also threatened her, the charge he refuted in his statement to the police.
It is learnt that the police also quizzed the team manager in connection with the case. The victim's fiancé Sahil, a Mumbai-based businessman, was discharged from Primus Hospital on Monday.
