Sapna Gill instigated Shobit Thakur and others to attack cricketer Prithvi Shaw: Rayya Labib

MUMBAI: Actor Rayya Labib who was present at the club at Vile Parle in suburban Mumbai, when a nasty argument took place between social media influencer Sapna Gill and batsman Prithvi Shaw had earlier said that it was Sapna Gill who instigated and caused the fight. “She is completely to blame for what happened, it seems this was pre-planned,” Rayya said.

“I had said the same thing two days earlier. I was present at the venue when the incident took place. Now the Oshiwara police have got hold of a video clip from the hotel where Gill is heard asking her accomplices Shobhit Thakur (21) and six others allegedly to get a baseball bat, knife, and other weapons to attack the cricketer and his friends. In fact, even Shobit Thakur’s mother told the police that it was Gill who provided Thakur and others with alcohol, making them drunk. Thakur’s mother has also blamed Gill. This is her modus operandi. She preys on celebrities like Shaw or other businessmen and blackmails them. I said this two days earlier and now the police have found evidence in this regard and have added Section 387 of the IPC to the case,” Rayya Labib said in a statement issued today.

Adding that Sapna Gill has tried to blackmail businessmen in the past, Rayya said that the police must investigate all other angles.

“This is a professional blackmail job. Her friends tried to manhandle Shaw even inside the restaurant. They literally pulled him and tried to click videos with him which angered him. They knew he was having a private dinner with his friends, they do this to others and then demand money from them,” Rayya Labib alleged.
