Cricket player Prithvi Shaw finds himself summoned by Mumbai’s sessions court after a plea was lodged by social media influencer Sapna Gill. Gill’s appeal challenges a magistrate’s ruling on her complaint against Shaw, which mandates a police investigation. The allegations stem from an incident at a bar, where Gill claims Shaw molested her.
Earlier this month, an Andheri metropolitan court directed authorities to conduct a police inquiry into Gill’s request for a police report against Shaw. The court’s decision amplifies the scrutiny surrounding Shaw’s actions, marking a significant development in the ongoing legal proceedings.
However, Gill faced disappointment when the court rejected her second plea to prosecute the police for their alleged failure to file a report following her accusations against Shaw and his companion.
Expressing dissatisfaction with both rulings, Gill sought a review at a Malad sessions court, contending that the April 3 order from the metropolitan magistrate was “irregular and illegal.” She argued that the court had “gravely erred” in endorsing it. The request for a review was filed by lawyer Ali Kaashif Khan.
