Indian cricketer Prithvi Shaw was allegedly attacked by a group of people after he reportedly refused to take a selfie with them. The incident happened on Wednesday night inside the Sahara Star Hotel’s Mansion Club in Mumbai

According to the reports, Shaw was in his friend’s car when people started coming to him for selfies. He later got irritated when two people started asking for selfies a second time. Soon after, the hotel staff asked the two to leave the club. They became enraged and planned to take revenge.

As per the reports, the accused asked Shaw for a selfie, and the cricketer agreed. The accused then demanded another selfie after taking one but Prithvi declined. Later, they waited for Shaw and his friends to leave the club.

Reportedly, as soon as their car reached the Jogeshwari Link Road Lotus Gas Station, the accused started hitting Shaw’s friend’s car with a baseball bat assuming that Shaw was inside the vehicle. They even broke the car’s window. However, Shaw was not in the car and had already left for home in a different car.
