The paper mentions Harbhajan apparently motioned as if to scratch his armpits with both hands in the same manner fans did to tease Andrew Symonds in India last year.
The media also reported that the bowler repeated the gesture with one hand later and was photographed the second time.
Adding fuel to the fire was a spectator who said the off spinner also spat towards the Sydney Cricket Ground crowd after they called him "a wanker".
"He definitely made the monkey gestures and he spat towards us. It was a bit disgraceful really, especially after what happened here in the Test match,” Craig Woodbury, a spectator in the Bill O'Reilly stand, told the press.
"There are a lot of young people sitting here and it was inappropriate. He is a role model to a lot of people. If he wants respect he has to treat others with respect. He is always going to cop it from the crowd but he is a professional sportsman and he has got to expect that."
Sunday’s alleged incident occurred about 10 minutes after Harbhajan dismissed opener Matthew Hayden, who called him an "obnoxious little weed" on radio.
