In his complaint, Yadav said that a group of people had attacked his and Prithvi Shaw’s cars with baseball bats and even did some damage. This was done reportedly after Shaw refused to cater to their demands for selfies after obliging them while he was having dinner with his friends in a five-star hotel in the Santa Cruz area of Mumbai.
The complaint also said that the group then followed them to a petrol station in Oshiwara and allegedly asked for money in lieu of not filing fake cases.

This all had happened when Prithvi Shaw had left for dinner at a five-star hotel in Santacruz when the unidentified suspect showed up and insisted on taking a selfie. Shaw took two selfie requests and complied with them, but the same group afterward requested a selfie with the other defendant.
This time, Shaw declined, stating that he had come to eat with friends and didn’t want to be bothered. According to the complaint, Prithvi’s friend complained about them to the hotel manager after they insisted.
The manager asked the accused to leave the hotel. When Shaw and his friend left the hotel after eating, some people were waiting outside with baseball bats since this occurrence had incensed them.
The accused used baseball bats to damage the front and rear windows of the BMW that belonged to Prithvi’s friend.
