Delhi family leaves Udaipur luxury hotel without paying ₹5.74 lakh: A practical reader guide

A family of four from Delhi travelled to Udaipur for a 10-day vacation, stayed at one of the city’s luxury hotels and reportedly left without paying the bill.

The hotel has now registered an FIR with the police to investigate the matter. He and his family reportedly availed themselves of the hotel’s services and left without making the payment. The TOI report quotes the hotel as saying that no discount, special arrangement or special payment terms were offered by the hotel at the time of booking.

Anurag Yadav, a Delhi resident, said he cannot pay the ₹ 5.74 lakh bill issued by The Oberoi Udaivilas Hotel on August 24, claiming that the travel agency that booked their stay would settle it, according to a Times of India report. Yadav, along with his wife and two children, checked into the hotel on August 14 and stayed until August 23. On August 24, while checking out, he reportedly told the hotel staff that the bill would be paid by the travel agency. The hotel management claims that a travel agency named Maker Baha Travel Agency booked a room via email on August 12 for the family.

The report further states that an FIR has been lodged at Ambamata Police Station in Udaipur by the hotel, and police have started an investigation into the matter.
