India’s Amit Mishra whistles during a practice session in the northern Indian hill town of Dharamsala, India, Oct. 1, 2015.

Indian police said they have summoned Indian cricketer Amit Mishra over allegations that he assaulted a woman filmmaker in a hotel room in southern Bangalore city, an official said Tuesday.

The woman, identified by police as Vandana, accused the 32-year-old Indian right-arm spinner of assaulting her with a kettle at a luxury hotel on Sept. 25.

“We have filed an FIR (first information report) against Mishra on the basis of the complaint Vandana filed on September 27 and issued a notice asking him to appear before our investigating officer within a week,” Sandeep Patil, Bangalore deputy commissioner of police told reporters.

Patil said they have sent a copy of the summons to the Indian cricket board, as the accused was attending a camp organized by the board in the city when the alleged incident happened.

“Some members of the hotel staff witnessed the incident and we have taken their statements. We have enough evidence to take action against Mishra if he fails to appear before the investigating officer,” Patil said.

The Mumbai-based film producer said in her complaint she had known the cricketer for three years and had gone to meet him at the hotel when he allegedly assaulted her.

Mishra has been named as a member of the Indian squad due to play the remaining two One-Day Internationals this month and the first two Tests against South Africa next month.

The Bengaluru police have summoned the spinner and ordered him to appear before the investigating officer within seven days.

The spinner plays for the Indian team in all three formats of the game.

The visitors lead the One-Day International series 2-1. The 4th ODI will be played in Chennai on Oct. 22 (Thursday). The final game is in Mumbai on Oct. 25 (Sunday). — Agencies
