Man Stays With Family At Delhi 5-Star Hotel, Arrested Over ₹ 3.6 Lakh Unpaid Bill

New Delhi: 

A man has been arrested for allegedly refusing to pay a bill of ₹ 3.65 lakh for staying with his family at a five-star hotel in Lutyens’ Delhi, police said on Thursday.

According to the FIR, the assistant manager of the hotel said the guest and his family booked two single occupancy rooms assuring the staff that the payment will be made on May 31.

They checked into the hotel on May 28 but the guest did not make the payment on the promised date, police said citing the First Information Report (FIR).

The guest allegedly breached the hotel’s credit policy by showing fraudulent UTR (Unique Transaction Reference) numbers claiming that he had already paid ₹ 6,50,000 through bank transfer.

But upon checking, no such transaction was found to be made by him and when he was asked about it, he assured that the payment will be made on June 3. During this period, he enjoyed all the services — including meals and bar — and again on the assured date, he failed to make the payment, the FIR stated.
