According to Ms Gill’s application, she and her friend Shobhit Thakur are regular customers of the upmarket club, where the latter spotted Mr Shaw who was partying with friends and was drunk. Shobhit, being a cricket fan, approached Mr Shaw for a selfie, which was met with hostility, the application reported.
“Thakur, who is just a teenager, was unaware of the brutality of the drunken mob. He was helpless and unable to defend himself. Hence, she (Gill) intervened and entered the fray trying to stop Shaw and others from further harming and injuring Thakur” Gil stated. It further claimed that Ms Gill begged and pleaded with Mr Shaw, who was “inebriated” at the time.
This is absolutely ridiculous!

Remarkably, Shaw’s childhood friend Arjun Tendulkar supported him. He had posted a tweet in support of the out-of-favour India opener. “Stay strong boy, always with you through good and bad times @prithvishaw,” Arjun tweeted.
