Gill was arrested on Thursday by the Mumbai police for allegedly attacking the car of cricketer Prithvi Shaw outside a luxury hotel in Santacruz on Wednesday night.
Gil and her friend asked for a selfie with Shaw. Though he obliged her, Shaw did not entertain their further requests for selfies, following which a security guard asked Gill and her friend to leave the premises, according to police.
It was when Shaw was leaving the hotel premises with his friends after dinner that the duo, along with a few others allegedly hit his car with a baseball bat.
