Prithvi Shaw did not molest Sapna Gill, police tells court
June 26, 2023

Social media influencer Sapna Gill's allegation that Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw had molested her at a pub in suburban Andheri in Mumbai is false and unfounded, the police told a court in Mumbai on Monday. 

The investigating officer appeared before the magistrate, presiding over the case, on Monday and submitted a report about the matter. 

After the police submitted the report, Gill's lawyer Ali Kaashif Khan requested the court to allow him to present the video footage of the alleged brawl that Gill's friend had recorded on his phone, which went viral in the media. 

He also sought a CCTV grab of the incident that occurred outside the pub. 

The court asked the police to submit the footage of the entire incident and adjourned the matter to June 28. 

Gill had lodged a complaint before a magistrate court in Andheri seeking registration of FIR under IPC sections 354 (Assault or criminal force to woman with intent to outrage her modesty.), 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 a bat in February. 

Before moving the court, Gill had approached the Airport police station in Andheri for registration of a molestation case against the cricketer and his friend.
