A team, led by assistant commissioner of police (headquarters) Abhilaksh Joshi, had sent two men as customers, who paid cash worth ₹2,000 each to the manager for the "service", after which the place was raided and the accused were caught red-handed.

"The accused spa manager confessed that he was running prostitution under the guise of a spa centre by charging ₹2,000 per customer. We are conducting raids to nab the spa owner," inspector Rajesh Kumar, the investigating officer and SHO of Sector 50 police station, said.
