Flying Fijians and Racing 92 winger Vinaya Habosi has been released from police custody following his arrest for alleged domestic violence against his partner.
It has been confirmed that Habosi was released after his partner did not file a complaint against him.
However, the former Drua player will undergo a training course on domestic violence awareness.
Habosi was arrested on Sunday evening after a drunken altercation at his home in France.
Witnesses say an argument between Habosi and his wife led to the 24-year-old pushing his partner who was holding their baby at the time.
They say after his wife fell to the ground, Habosi began to punch her in the back of the head.
It was confirmed that his baby was not injured in the altercation while Habosi’s partner refused to be rescued by emergency services and had no apparent injuries.
It is also understood that Habosi was clearly intoxicated and argued that he had not pushed or hit his wife.
Meanwhile, the star winger was immediately released by the Drua in 2023 after he assaulted his partner in Fiji.
The Drua had stated it was a high-level breach of the club’s code of conduct.
