Actress Poonam Dasgupta Luthra has sent a written complaint to the city police alleging sexual harassment via telephone by an "illicit escort agency running a prostitution racket". She mailed the letter to the senior inspector at Malvani police station requesting them to register a complaint. She has also sent a copy of it to the additional commissioner of police, north region, and the city police commissioner.

Poonam said she missed a call on Tuesday and when she called back, she was shocked to find out that the person at the other end was offering sexual services. "The woman was explicit and was trying to convince me in a vulgar and inappropriate manner.I immediately disconnected the call," Poonam said in her letter.
