Social media influencer Sapna Gill on Wednesday filed a criminal complaint before the Andheri Magistrate court in Mumbai seeking registration of an FIR against Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw and his friend for allegedly assaulting her with a bat and molesting her on February 15. IPL 2023: Case filed against Delhi Capital player Prithvi Shaw. Prithvi Shaw is currently representing Delhi Capitals in the on-going Indian Premier League.

A complaint has been filed against Prithvi Shaw by Sapna Gill before the Andheri Magistrate Court in Mumbai with the social media influencer seeking FIR to be registered against the India cricketer for allegedly assaulting her with a bat and molesting her outside a club in Andheri. Gill’s lawyer Ali Kaashif Khan claims that they have a medical record from a government hospital as an evidence to support their charges against the accused.

Gill has alleged, on February 15, when her friend Shobhit Thakur asked Shaw to click a selfie, the approach was met with ‘hostility’. She further claims that after thrashing Thakur’s phone, Shaw and his friends began assaulting the teenager. Gill alleges when she intervened, Shaw touched her inappropriately before pushing her away. She then proceeded to call the police.

When caught, Shaw, Gill claims, apologised but the next day the cricketer filed a complaint against her and her friend following which she was arrested on February 16. Shaw alleges he was manhandled and his car attacked by a baseball bat after his refusal to click selfies with Gill and her friend.
