Re: Indian cricketer arrested for rape?

Strange article at New Zmbabwe. I would've thought if he'd appeared in court already, ascertaining who if was shouldn't be hard. Also use of a question mark in the NZ headline invokes Betteridge's Law of Headlines: any headline that asks a question can be answered by 'no'. And while a few other sites have repeated the story, they're sticking with the '?' (Which I've added to the thread title here).

Another source would be nice, because it's a shitty thing to have done and not an allegation that should be thrown around with a '?' attached.

The identity of the player could not be ascertained by the time of going to press.
“It is tricky issue because it could turn into a diplomatic feud between the two countries
“People need to tread carefully because the Indian ambassador to Zimbabwe was seen at the hotel trying to stop the player’s arrest or maybe broker an out-of-court settlement with the woman,” said a source close to the developments.
It was also claimed that the victim could have been drugged before being abused by the cricketer.
The cricketer if guilty should be thrown in jail. In some countries you get killed for this.
