Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw has been summoned by a Mumbai sessions court on a plea filed by social media influencer Sapna Gill. This follows her challenge to a magistrate’s order regarding a complaint she filed against Shaw.
Background of the Case
The incident in question reportedly occurred in February 2023. Gill said an altercation arose between her and Shaw at a Mumbai pub over taking selfies. Gill has accused Shaw of molestation. She was subsequently arrested, along with others, for allegedly attacking Shaw.
Recent Developments
Following her release on bail, Gill filed a complaint with the Mumbai airport police against Shaw and his friend, alleging molestation. The police, however, did not register an FIR (First Information Report). Gill then approached the magistrate’s court, which earlier this month ordered a police inquiry into her molestation allegation.
Current Situation
Dissatisfied with the magistrate’s order, Gill filed a review petition at the sessions court. On Tuesday, the sessions court issued summons to Shaw and the Mumbai airport police in response to Gill’s plea. The next court hearing is scheduled for June 6, 2024.
Important to Note
- These are accusations, and neither party has been proven guilty or innocent.
- The court has ordered a police inquiry into Gill’s molestation allegation.
This is a developing story; further details may emerge as the case progresses.
