New Delhi: Nothing’s going right for Indian spinner Amit Mishra. First was the complaint lodged by a woman charging him with molestation. When it looked like he could heave a sigh of relief, the lady said the she would go ahead with the charges.
The woman who lodged a complaint against Amit Mishra now wants the cricketer to appear before the Bengaluru police.
On Thursday, sections of the media had reported that the 34-year-old film producer was to withdraw the case.

“I won’t withdraw the complaint against Amit (Mishra). I am hurt physically, mentally and emotionally by the cricketer,” she told the newspaper.
Apparently, the leg-spinner who was in touch with her till Wednesday, is now unreachable.
“He knew I was going to the police and kept saying he will come to Bengaluru and sort out the matter. I want Amit to come in front of the police and talk to me,” she further added.

Mishra was booked under the Indian Penal Code sections 354 (assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty) and 328 (causing hurt with intent to commit an offence).
