Prithvi Shaw Selfie Row: Bombay HC Issues Notice To Cricketer On Sapna Gill’s Plea Against FIR

The Bombay High Court has recently issued a notice to Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw and the city police, seeking their reply to a plea filed by social media influencer Sapna Gill seeking the dismissal of an FIR filed against her for allegedly assaulting and demanding money from the player.

The First Information Report (FIR) was filed in February of this year, after Gill and her friends got into a scuffle with Shaw and several of his friends outside a hotel in suburban Mumbai over selfies.

Gill eventually filed a counter-complaint against the batsman. On Thursday, a division bench of Justices S B Shukre and M M Sathaye issued a notice to the police and Shaw on Gill’s plea to dismiss the FIR against her and scheduled a hearing in June.

Ali Kashif Khan, Gill’s counsel, informed the court that the police were working hand in hand with the Mumbai cricketer and had filed a fake case against the social media influencer.

Khan sought a court to order the police to get and preserve CCTV footage from inside the hotel in suburban Andheri to demonstrate what happened before the scuffle. Gill also requested that the police not file a chargesheet against her in the plea.
