Mumbai court directs police to investigate molestation allegations against Prithvi Shaw dating back to 2023

A court in Mumbai has addressed the police to investigate into social media influencer Sapna Gill’s allegations of molestation against Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw in 2023.

According to PTI, Metropolitan Magistrate S C Tayde has instructed the police to submit a report of its enquiry by June 19. Furthermore, it has dismissed the plea from Gill to seek an action against the police for not registering a First Information Report (FIR) against Shaw.

Earlier last year, Gill had raised charges against Shaw for molesting her at a suburban Andheri pub. Shaw however, denied all the charges made against him. The social media influencer, who was arrested in February 2023 for attacking Shaw following an argument regarding clicking selfies, is currently out on bail.

In her complaint against Shaw, Gill sought registration of an FIR under IPC sections 354 (molestation), 509 (Word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman) and 324 (Voluntarily causing hurt by dangerous weapons or means) against Shaw and his friend Ashish Yadav for assaulting her with bat.

Claiming that the police didn’t issue an FIR against Shaw, Gill had moved to magistrate court to register a case against the Mumbai based cricketer. The police however, would tell the court that Gill’s allegations against Shaw were “falls and unfounded”, adding that Gill – present alongside a friend – during the said moment were drunk at the time.
