Cricketer Prithvi Shaw Selfie Row: Sapna Gill, 3 Others Sent To 14-Day Judicial Custody By Mumbai Court

A massive controversy erupted after a video of Prithvi Shaw getting physical with a woman went viral on social media.

Mumbai's Andheri court, Monday, sent social media influencer Sapna Gill and three other accused to judicial custody after their police custody ended today, ANI reported. Shaw was involved in an argument with Sapna and her male friend in the Santacruz area of Mumbai after the cricketer reportedly refused to click selfies with them. Initially, both parties first engaged in an argument over selfies but it soon turned into a fight. Sapna and her friends allegedly manhandled Shaw and attacked his car.

The police sought an extension of the remand, saying they need to recover the baseball bat and the vehicle used in the alleged crime.

However, the court rejected the plea and remanded the accused in judicial custody.

Apart from the original charges of rioting and extortion, the police have also added Indian Penal Code Section 387 (putting a person in fear of death or of grievous hurt in order to commit extortion) in the case.
