Prithvi Shaw has once again grabbed limelight pertaining to an incident related to social media influencer Sapna Gill. As per latest updates,  the Bombay High Court declined to cancel the First Information Report (FIR) submitted against Sapna Gill in relation to an event relating to cricketer Shaw. 

The case revolves around a row that had arisen over a request for a selfie at Sahara Star's Mansion Club, and the court said that she could approach the release of the trial court after the chargesheet was presented.

What Is Prithvi Shaw-Sapna Gill Incident?

Back in February 15, 2023 a fight broke out in the evening when her friend, Shobit Thakur, repeatedly requested Shaw to take selfies at 1 AM when Shaw was having a meal with his friend, Ashish Surendra Yadav. Prithvi Shaw did it initially but refused to continue with the demands afterward, for which Thakur was kicked out of the location. The incident was further fueled when Thakur was reportedly attacked with a baseball bat while Shaw was trying to leave. 

Shaw was able to escape unharmed, but Yadav was chased by six individuals, including Thakur, and Gill was also suspected to be part of the group. The group reportedly threatened Yadav and asked for ₹50,000. Sapna Gill, on the other hand, provided a different account of what transpired, saying that Shaw and Yadav had invited her and Thakur to sit at their VIP table for a booze party. 


In her account, after Thakur asked for a selfie, an altercation ensued, where Shaw and Yadav attacked Thakur. When she came to intervene, she accused Shaw of physically and sexually assaulting her. She was detained on February 17 , but released on bail three days later. She later lodged a counter-complaint, charging Shaw with assault, molestation, and outraging her modesty. 

In Thursday's hearing, Sapna's counsel, Ali Kaashif Khan Deshmukh, said that the case against her was unsubstantiated and an abuse of the justice system. But the court observed that the FIR provided for possible criminal offenses and declined to quash it. The bench, consisting of Justices S.M. Modak and Sarang Kotwal, recognized that the extortion charge could not stand based on the absence of any money transfer. The court directed the prosecutor to file the chargesheet for consideration before the next hearing, which is set for April 3.
