Mumbai: <\/b><\/p>\n
An argument over selfies quickly escalated into a fight with a baseball bat and a car chase in Mumbai for cricketer Prithvi Shaw, according to a police complaint.<\/p>\n
Eight people have been named in the police case for allegedly charging at Mr Shaw and his friend, breaking the windshield of their car and demanding Rs 50,000.<\/p>\n
Those named in the complaint – two of whom have been identified as Shobhit Thakur and Sana or Sapna Gill – have refuted the charges and accused Mr Shaw of assaulting them first.<\/p>\n
According to the complaint by Mr Shaw’s friend, the fight began at a luxury hotel in Mumbai’s Oshiwara in the early hours of Wednesday after two fans – a man and a woman – approached the cricketer for selfies.<\/p>\n
After a few pictures, when they refused to back off and demanded more, Mr Shaw called his friend and the manager of the hotel to have the fans removed.<\/p>\n
After being kicked out, the fans waited outside for Prithvi and, along with a few others armed with baseball bats, mobbed Mr Shaw, the complaint said.<\/p>\n
When Mr Shaw and his friend drove off, they chased the car, intercepted it at a traffic signal and broke the windshield, it added.<\/p>\n
They also demanded Rs 50,000, threatening to file a fake police case, according to Mr Shaw’s friend.<\/p>\n
The allegations, however, have been challenged by those named in the case.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the media, Ali Kashif Khan, the lawyer for Sapna Gill in the case, has alleged that Prithvi Shaw assaulted the woman.<\/p>\n
A video filmed by Ms Gill’s friend showed her struggling with Mr Shaw, who is clutching a broken baseball bat.<\/p>\n
“Sapna has been kept in the Oshiwara police station. She is not being allowed to go even for medical examination,” Mr Khan said.<\/p>\n
