Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw, who once led India’s Under-19 World Cup team, has been asked by a Mumbai court to pay a token fine of Rs. 100 to social media influencer Sapna Gill. The fine was given because Shaw did not file his reply to Gill’s petition, even after the court gave him multiple chances.

Prithvi Shaw Ordered To Pay ₹100 Fine For Delay

On September 9, the Dindoshi sessions court said Shaw’s lawyer had been given a “last chance” back in June but still failed to respond. Judge S. M. Agarkar said Shaw would get one more chance, but only if he paid Rs. 100 to Gill’s side.

This case goes back to an incident on February 15, 2023, at a pub in Andheri, Mumbai. Sapna Gill’s friend, Shobit Thakur, kept asking Shaw for selfies late at night. Shaw agreed at first but later refused, which led to an argument. Thakur was asked to leave the pub. Later, when Shaw was leaving with his friend Ashish Yadav, a fight broke out.

Thakur was allegedly attacked with a baseball bat, while Shaw escaped safely. Yadav, however, was chased by six people (including Gill and Thakur) who allegedly threatened him and demanded ₹50,000. Police filed a case against the group, and Gill was arrested on February 17, 2023, but got bail three days later.

Gill, however, gave a different version. She claimed Shaw and Yadav had actually invited her and Thakur to their VIP table for drinks, and that Shaw and Yadav assaulted Thakur when he asked for selfies.

Gill later approached the courts, saying the police failed to act on her complaint. In April 2024, a magistrate acknowledged delays in her filing but said her allegations were serious enough to be investigated. Santacruz police were told to look into it. Gill later challenged even this order, arguing that police refusal to register an FIR showed the system wasn’t protecting victims.

So far, Shaw has not officially replied to her allegations in court. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for December 16, 2025.
