The Bombay High Court on Thursday issued a notice to Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw and the city police demanding they respond to a petition filed by social media influencer Sapna Gill to overturn the FIR filed against her for allegedly assaulting and demanding money from the athlete. The first Information Report (FIR) was filed in February of this year after Gill and her friends got into a fight with Shaw and some of his friends outside a hotel in suburban Mumbai over a selfie. Gill later filed a counter-complaint against the 23-year-old batsman.
Panel of Judges S.B. Shukre and M.M. Sataye on Thursday sent a notice to police and Shaw about Gill’s application to cancel the FIR against her and sent the case for a hearing in June.
Gill’s lawyer Ali Kashif Khan told the judge that the police were hand in hand with the Mumbai cricketer and filed a fake case against the social media influencer.
Khan asked the court to provide the police with CCTV footage from a hotel in the Andheri suburb to show exactly what happened before the fight.
Gill, in her statement, also asked the police not to press charges against her in this case.
