According to the police complaint, both parties first engaged in an argument over selfies but it soon turned into a fight with a baseball bat and a car chase in Mumbai.

The complaint states that despite clicking a selfie with the woman and the man, the latter insisted on clicking more. At this point Prithvi Shaw called his friend and the manager of the hotel and asked them to remove the man and the woman. 

The complaint further stated that the man and the woman were later waiting outside the hotel with other people armed with baseball bats. Reportedly a physical brawl ensued. 

The police complaint filed by the friend also states that this is when Prithvi Shaw and him drove off in their car, when they were allegedly being chased by the fans. 

Shaw’s car was allegedly intercepted at a traffic signal near Oshiwara where the fans broke the windshield and demanded ₹50,000 threatening the duo with fake police complaint, NDTV reported. 

Eight people were named in the police case for allegedly assaulting Shaw and his friend, breaking the windshield of their car and demanding ₹50,000.

Two complainants who have been identified as Shobhit Thakur and Sana or Sapna Gill, have refused the charges and even accused Shaw of assaulting them first, according to the reports.
