The Oshiwara police on Thursday filed an FIR against eight people partying at a five-star hotel near the domestic airport for allegedly vandalising cricketer Prithvi Shaw’s car with a hockey stick after he refused their request for more selfies. The accused, however, claimed that Shaw manhandled them for requesting a selfie and broke their vehicle’s windscreen with a bat. The main accused in the case is Shobhit Thakur and his friend Sana alias Sapna Gill, a social media influencer, police said.

The incident occurred on the intervening night of Wednesday and Thursday, at 1 am, at Hotel Sahara Star. According to Oshiwara cops, Shaw and his friends Ashish and Brijesh were having dinner at the hotel’s restaurant when Thakur requested for a selfie with the cricketer. Shaw agreed for one selfie, cops said, adding that after a few minutes, Thakur came for more selfies and the cricketer refused. However, Thakur continued to insist that he take a selfie with them, so Shaw called the restaurant manager, who took the former away.
