Royal Challengers player Luke Pomersbach was arrested last Friday after American national Zohal Hamid alleged he molested her and hit her fiance Sahil when he objected to the cricketer's behaviour. Pomersbach was arrested and a court granted him bail later.
Sahil's brother Pheroz said that Pomersbach should not have done what he did. "He should have respect for women. Luke has done a blunder. He should apologise and we should also forgive and forget.
"We don't want to pursue against Luke. We have not been pressurised by anyone. No one has approached us," he told a TV channel. He also said they do not want to pursue a case against Siddhartha Mallya whose tweets casting aspersions on Hamid's character became another controversy.
He also rebutted Hamid's claim that she was Sahil's fiancee. "Whatever happened was most unfortunate. Officially I am saying, Sahil is not engaged to Zohal," he said.
There were also reports that Hamid also planning to withdraw the legal notice issued against Siddhartha Mallya seeking his apology for his tweets.
The lawyers of Hamid or Pomersbach could not be reached for comments.
If a compromise is worked out between both the sides, they will have to approach the court to withdraw the case.
