Shrradha Pandit, the Bollywood playback singer, filed a complaint with Oshiwara police on Thursday, accusing an artist management professional of threatening her.
According to police, Pandit and one Dev Thakur, who works for an artist management agency, had had a dispute recently and he allegedly sent her a threatening voice message.
Thakur told reporters that the allegations were false. He has been called by police on Friday and he will put forth his side, he said.
Police have only registered a non-cognizable complaint so far and not an FIR, officials said.
The singer confirmed the news on Instagram stories. Pandit claimed in a four-part Story that her former manager sent her voice notes threatening to assault her.

Pandit claimed that the artist management professional, Thakur, from Marching Angels had threatened her because he had been fired within two months.
The 39-year-old singer stated that she has proof that Thakur threatened her with physical, mental, and financial repercussions.
The singer concluded by saying that it is time for him to be afraid, not her.
Pandit hails from Mewati Gharana of classical music and seeks her roots from a pure classical upbringing.
