Reportedly, Suhas Nerlekar, 73, and his son Swapnil, 32 used to come up with new ways to get inside 5-star hotels, consume their food, use their pickup and drop facilities and flee away without paying. Reportedly, the police were alerted by 32-year-old who worked at Hotel Taj Vivanta. 

Manik was on duty when the two came to the hotel. Finding their movements suspicious, Manik informed the receptionist and kept a close watch on the two. The two went to the washroom and had to be dragged out by the security.
