Influencer Sapna Gill Files Molestation Complaint Against Cricketer Prithvi Shaw, Seeks FIR Registration

Sapna Gill, a social media influencer, has recently filed a private complaint in a Magistrate’s Court seeking an FIR against cricketer Prithvi Shaw and his friend for molestation, claiming that the inebriated cricketer assaulted her at the time of the incident.

Gill has filed a second complaint against two Airport Police Station officers for dereliction of duty and failure to file her complaint against Shaw. Both issues will be discussed on April 17, 2023.

On February 15, the Mumbai’s Oshiwara Police arrested Gill and three others for allegedly abusing and assaulting Shaw and damaging his car after he refused to take repeated selfies. Shaw and his friends were having dinner at Hotel Sahara Star when Gill and her friend Shobit Thakur requested more selfies.

Following this, they claimed that when Prithvi Shaw and his friend were leaving the hotel at 4 a.m., Gill and her associates arrived on motorcycles and a car and abused them.

As a result, the Andheri Metropolitan Magistrate’s court gave bail to all of the accused. Gill has now approached before the Bombay High Court to have the FIR against her dismissed.

In the new complaints, Gill has requested that Shaw and his friend Ashish Surendra Yadav be charged under Sections 354 (molestation), 509 (insult to modesty), and 324 (hurt with a dangerous weapon) of the IPC for assaulting her with a bat, and has attached medical proof from a government hospital, which is a vital evident document proving sexual assault.

Gill claimed that only her friend walked to Shaw to request a selfie. Shaw and his friend were both inebriated, so her friend was met with hostility. When she attempted to assist a friend, she was pushed away and they were assaulted with a baseball bat, according to Gill’s complaint, filed through advocate Ali Kashiff Khan.
