Man Flees From Bengaluru Resort After Making An Outstanding Bill Of Rs. 3.2 Lakh
A posh resort in Bengaluru Rural district’s Devanahalli has filed a police report against a guest who stayed there for months but recently left without paying the bill.
The guest, identified as K Rajesh, a resident of Puttaparthi in Andhra Pradesh, had been staying at the resort since July, according to the resort management.
The businessman had paid around Rs 8 lakhs to settle the bills up to that point in September and had continued to live there after that.
However, Rajesh allegedly left the resort without informing the staff in the second week of November, and the bill for his 41-day stay there is still outstanding.
Yeshwant, the manager of the resort near the Kempegowda International Airport, told The Times of India that Rajesh had introduced himself as a realtor with lands in Andhra Pradesh and Bengaluru, as well as running various businesses.
“Rajesh has been a regular customer since mid-2020, frequently staying in a single room for 3-4 days.” He stayed for a month or two on several occasions. He had always paid the bills for the rooms and the food on time. He checked into a hotel room on July 23. The daily rent came to Rs 7,850. He paid the bill up to September 30 and told me he would stay longer for business reasons. “Because he was an old customer who made prompt payments, he was allowed to stay without making any advance,” he told the media.
Rajesh left the resort in his car on November 11 and did not return, according to Yeshwant.
Rajesh has been charged with criminal breach of trust under Indian Penal Code sections 406 and 420, according to the resort management’s complaint (cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property).
During the investigation, police discovered that Rajesh had defrauded more people before fleeing the resort.
“According to the call record details, we spoke to about ten people with whom Rajesh communicated before leaving the resort.” “The majority of them claimed Rajesh cheated them in various ways,” an investigating officer told the newspaper.

Specifically, several parts of the state, notably Cuttack and Bhubaneswar, have been experiencing severe rainfall as a result of the deep depression over the northwest Bay of Bengal and adjacent Odisha coast, resulting in water-logging in low-lying areas.
Geologically the state is home to some of the oldest rocks of the world. Odisha also consists of two cratons (e.g. North Odisha Craton and Western Odisha Craton), which are sedimentary formations from the Cretaceous period. They are found in many places and are home to coal deposits. The coasts are made up predominantly of deltaic sediments of Mahanadi, Brahmani, Baitarani, Subarnarekha rivers of Quaternary age.
Depression Develops Over Bay Of Bengal, Alert Issued For Odisha As Water Surges In Major Rivers
The well-marked low pressure over the Bay of Bengal has strengthened into a depression, according to the Regional Meteorological Department in Bhubaneswar, and is highly likely to pass the north Odisha coast near Chandbali in Bhadrak by Monday morning.
At 5.30 p.m. on Sunday, the depression over northwest Bay of Bengal and surrounding Odisha coast was tracked 80 kilometers east-southeast of Chandbali, 70 kilometers east of Paradip, and 140 kilometers south-southeast of Balasore, according to the meteorological office.
Meanwhile, the Central Water Commission (CWC) has issued an alert for many Odisha districts as major rivers and their tributaries continue to rise as a result of persistent rain in the basin and higher catchment areas caused by low pressure.
“Rivers including the Brahmani, Baitarani, and Mahanadi are predicted to get a considerable quantity of runoff due to the existence of a well-marked low-pressure region over the Bay of Bengal and its subsequent deepening to depression. In districts like Angul, Deogarh, Sundargarh, Kendrapara, Dhenkanal, and Jajpur, the water levels of the Brahmani River and its tributaries are predicted to rise. The river Baitarani’s water levels are likely to rise in the districts of Keonjhar and Bhadrak, according to the CWC’s advice.
“In the districts of Cuttack, Khordha, Puri, Jagatsinghpur, Jharsuguda, and Bolangir, water levels of the Mahanadi and its tributaries are likely to rise. Flooding is likely in Odisha, as the IMD forecasts exceptionally heavy rains. Rengali Dam on the Brahmani River and Hirakud Dam on the Mahanadi River both have large reservoirs. Dam releases may be carried out in accordance with SOP following notification of downstream districts”, according to the CWC alert.
The river Jalka in the Subarnarekha basin in the Balasore district is now running over the danger level, according to the CWC advisory.
Between 8.30 a.m. and 8.30 p.m. today, Puri had the most rainfall (181.7 mm), followed by Bhubaneswar (122.3 mm), and Paradeep (53.6 mm).
