Those who misbehaved with Prithvi Shaw got bail, Sapna Gill also came out
Mumbai A Mumbai court on Monday granted bail to Sapna Gill and three other accused in the case of allegedly manhandling Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw and attacking his car with a baseball bat. Earlier in the day, the court sent Gill, his friend Shobhit Thakur and Rudra Solanki and Sahil Singh to judicial custody for 14 days. Thereafter, he filed a bail application before the court. Metropolitan Magistrate (Andheri Court) C P Kashid granted bail to all the accused after hearing brief arguments.
He was arrested last week. In his plea, filed through advocate Kashif Ali Khan, Gill claimed that the FIR against him has been registered on completely false and fabricated allegations. “The statements in the FIR are fabricated and without any basis and the applicant (Gill) is being implicated in the aforesaid case,” the bail application contended. Opposing the bail pleas, public prosecutor Aatiya Shaikh, appearing for the police, said the investigation in the matter was yet to be completed.
He argued that the accused had stalked Shaw to take revenge as he had refused to take a selfie with them. The prosecutor said that they could have even killed the 23-year-old cricketer. The incident took place last week outside a hotel in suburban Shantacruz after Shaw refused to take a selfie with Gill.
