Prithvi Shaw Brawl: Didn't Ask For Selfies, Was Beaten And Molested, Says Influencer Sapna Gill

Influencer Sapna Gill has alleged that she did not aske for any selfie and that she only tried to stop Prithvi Shaw and his friend from assaulting her friend.

Hours after being granted bail in the Prithvi Shaw brawl case, influencer Sapna Gill filed a case against the batter for 'outraging her modesty'.

Influencer Sapna Gill, who was arrested in the Prithvi Shaw row, on Tuesday said that the allegations against her and her friends were false. She also sought to clarify that she did not ask for any selfie with cricketer Prithvi Shaw.

The 23-year-old cricketer was out for dinner with his friend last week when he was allegedly approached by Gill and her friend for a selfie. While the young cricketer initially agreed, on alleged repeated interruptions for pictures, he refused and asked them to leave, even raising the issue with the manager of the hotel.

Gill and Thakur then allegedly abused and assaulted Shaw, and even the Mumbai batter's car was attacked. The Delhi Capitals player was forced to take a different car to leave the scene, with his friend Ashish registering a complaint at the Oshiwara Police station.

"We didn’t assault anyone neither did we ask money. They [Prithvi Shaw] put the wrong allegations about us. I didn’t ask for any selfie. We were enjoying ourselves. So, my friend tried to make a video... I saw that they were beating my friend," she was quoted as saying by news agency ANI on Tuesday.

"I went there and stopped them. My friend tried to make a video to show the proof of the assault on him. They also beat me up with a baseball bat when I tried to save my friend. One or two persons hit me and touched my private parts, and even slapped me," she alleged.

She further claimed that she and her friend tried to stop Shaw at the airport. "Prithvi and his friend gathered a crowd and tried to run. They were aggressive and drunk. They later apologised to us. But on Feb 16, I got to know that an FIR had been filed against me. So, I, too, submitted a complaint on Feb 20," Gill said.

Gill was arrested last Thursday along with her friend Shobhit Thakur and six others for a case of rioting, extortion, and  intimidating Shaw. A case under sections 143, 148, 149, 384, 437, 504, and 506 sections of the IPC have been filed against them.

Hours after being granted bail by a magistrate, Gill filed a case against the batter for 'outraging her modesty.'

Her lawyer Ali Kaashif Deshmukh said: "A criminal complaint has been registered against Prithvi Shaw, Ashish Surendra Yadav, Brijesh and others (not known to Gill) for molesting and outraging the modesty of Sapna Gill." The case was registered under sections 34, 120b, 144, 146, 148, 149, 323, 324, 351, 354 & 509 of the Indian Penal Code.
