The moment a female diner retrieved an item from her clothing to put in her food in order to avoid paying a bill was caught on camera.
Restaurant owner Naseem Khan, 44, captured the suspected "con artist" on CCTV taking out a piece of plastic - which she hid in her bra - and placing it in her food.
The curry house boss claims the female tore off the wrapper from a cigarette packet she stored in her underwear, and placed the plastic into the bowl of her chicken curry.
