In a letter addressed to Prabhu and also marked to the Prime Minister, the airhostess asked the government to appoint a 'neutral' investigation committee to look into the incident.

Responding to the letter, the aviation minister tweeted, "Asked Air India CMD to immediately address the issue. If necessary, will appoint another committee". The airhostess alleged that she had been harassed for the last six years by the senior executive, describing him as a "predator" and equal, if not worse, than Harvey Weinstein.
