Xtra Time Web Desk: Indian batsman Prithvi Shaw was stopped by police in the Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra while he was on his way to Goa for travelling without an E-Pass, according to a police official. The incident took place on Wednesday morning when the young cricketer was travelling in his car.

The Maharashtra government has made it mandatory to obtain a pass for travel in order to further efforts to contain the second wave of the pandemic. Shaw had applied for an E-Pass, however he had set out for Goa before it was issued. He only had a token issued against the application, according to the official. He was allowed to go after obtaining a pass, which he re-applied for online, and subsequently attained within an hour. Shaw had previously returned to Mumbai after the indefinite postponement of this year's edition of the Indian Premier League.
