The police also arrested the actress's 32-year-old stepbrother, who used to accompany her to different cities. Shockingly, the actress's father, who runs a photo studio at Versova in Mumbai, ran the racket and would identify clients for his daughter, the police said. He is yet to be arrested.

Acting on a tip-off, a police team from the social security cell of the crime branch laid a trap at a five-star hotel at Vimannagar and arrested the actress and her stepbrother. "Police constable Ashok Takalkar received a tip-off about the actress's father running a sex racket in the city. We also got information that some models and actresses from the film industry were involved in the racket. We got someone to pose as a client and contacted the actress's father. The father said he would get a Tamil model and actress, who would charge Rs 3 lakh for two hours," Barge said.
The father also asked the man posing as a client to book two rooms, one for the actress and another for her stepbrother, at the Vimannagar hotel, Barge said. "On Saturday night, the actress came to the hotel with her stepbrother. We arrested them and charged them under relevant sections of the Prevention of Immoral Trafficking Act," Barge said.
During interrogation, the actress said they had flown to Mumbai from Chennai on Saturday and came to Pune in a private taxi. "The woman also revealed that her father acted as her agent. She had come to Pune twice earlier for prostitution," Barge said.
"The actress told us that she was involved in prostitution as she was short on money. We have transferred the case to the Yerawada police station for further investigations," Barge said.
