A man walked into a five-star Indian hotel and booked a room for one night – then extended his stay by almost two years and allegedly skipped his roughly $70,700 bill when he left.

Accused fraudster Ankush Dutta booked a room for a single night at the swanky Roseate House hotel in Delhi on May 30, 2019, but stayed an extra 603 nights and left on Jan. 22, 2021, The Indian Express reported, citing a police complaint.

He allegedly left behind unpaid bills amounting to 5.8 million Indian rupees, or over $70,700, the newspaper reported.

Management accused the staff of helping Dutta turn Roseate House into a freebie extended-stay hotel.

Management accused the staff of helping Dutta turn Roseate House into a freebie extended-stay hotel.

By simply ignoring or bypassing standard "A/R management" software and rules.

I’m tired of Mike Pence. He seems to have made some kind of change in personality where he now speaks more slowly so as to appear more “statesmanlike.” But the real effect is that he is now more preachy and sanctimonious than ever.

Indian citizens and permanent residents pay much lower prices for hotels in India than visitors.

I would assume he did, but since neither the Post not the Indian article states that his bill includes bills for food etc. They talk only about the length of stay, and that the front clerk removed this customer from the daily reports to hide it from, what they refer to as, the seniors.

Did this front desk clerk really thin he was going to get away with this?

The answer may be yes.

The Indian article, which is linked, said that this customer had stayed before, but had paid with cash. They are now looking into those stays as well, apparently.

BTW, the hotel front desk clerk has been charged & booked. 🙂

Dude, he needs to take some lessons from Trudeau on how to live it up at a hotel. Amateur hour, lol.
