On a humid Friday night in Mumbai, 32-year-old Aditya (name changed) thought he was meeting someone special. His date insisted on a particular restaurant in Mumbai’s Andheri suburb, where she ordered cocktails, starters, mains, and desserts freely. When the bill finally landed, it was more than Rs 18,000. She excused herself to take a call and never returned. Aditya was left staring at the slip, embarrassed and unsure how he had walked straight into a trap.
