It is now sub-judice," Barkha Singh, chairperson of Commission told Firstpost. The decision, added Singh, had been communicated to Hamid. However, Hamid refused to comment on the women’s commission decision when Firstpost spoke to her at the hospital where her fiance Sahil Peerzada was released late afternoon today. Hamid, a US citizen, has filed a complaint against IPL player Luke Pomersbach for allegedly molesting in her hotel room in the early hours of Friday (18 May). Mallya had questioned in his tweet her molestation charge that was directed at one his team players.
