A Dindoshi sessions court in Mumbai fined young Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw INR 100 for neglecting to respond to a molestation case filed by social media personality Sapna Gill. After Shaw's legal team continually requested adjournments despite being offered several chances, including a final opportunity on June 13, the court imposed the minimal sentence on September 9, 2025.
The action was taken after the magistrate court ordered a preliminary investigation and declined to file a formal complaint against Shaw. Prithvi was requested to respond to the matter, but he chose not to do so. According to a TimesNow article, the court has now agreed to allow him another opportunity to respond for a nominal charge of Rs 100.

The dispute stems from an incident that happened at a pub in Andheri, Mumbai, on February 15, 2023. After an altercation over a selfie request allegedly descended into violence, Gill accused Shaw of assault and molestation. Over the past two years, the case has taken several legal turns, with both parties putting up opposing arguments, even though Shaw's team has stated that Shubman Gill and her accomplices were the aggressors.
Prithvi Shaw was sued by Sapna Gill during a public altercation in Mumbai in 2023. Gill said that when she stepped in, Shaw grabbed her friend's phone, refused to take selfies with her, and then attacked and harassed her. Gill went to the police, but nothing happened. The Santa Cruz police station was ordered by the magistrate's court to look into the situation and provide a report. Gill contested the ruling, questioning the police's choice not to file a formal complaint. The next hearing on the issue is scheduled for December 16, 2025, according to the report.
Gill presented an alternative version in her counter-complaint. She claimed that once she and Thakur were invited to Shaw and Suryakumar Yadav's VIP table, everything descended into violence when they demanded selfies. She eventually filed accusations of assault, molestation, and outraging her modesty after accusing Shaw of assaulting Thakur and harassing her after she stepped in.
