Arun Bothara, an IPS officer, has revealed how he was conned out of paying for two dosas at a restaurant where he had only ordered one dosa.
IPS Arun Bothra, Additional DGP, CID-Crime and Transport Commissioner, Odisha, shared a tweet where he explained how he was scammed.
According to Bothra, he recently went to a restaurant and ordered a dosa. When he received the bill, he saw that he was billed for two dosas. While inquiring about the bill, he got to know that the person sitting next to him claimed to the staff that he was accompanying him and asked for their food to be billed together.
While sharing the tweet he wrote, “I went to a restaurant alone to have a dosa. Was puzzled to see the bill that mentioned two dosa,” wrote Bothra. “On asking the waiter said one person sitting on other side took a masala dosa saying that he was accompanying me. He had left by the time bill came.”
