Prateek Jadhav, a 34-year-old IT professional, was thrilled to find a match on Tinder on a Saturday morning this month. The woman soon asked for his phone number, the conversation moved to WhatsApp, and within an hour a date had been fixed for the evening.
At 5.45 pm, Jadhav met the woman, who identified herself as Manisha, at Crystal Plaza in Azad Nagar of Andheri West. She then took him to a dim-lit pub named The Godfather, where the Navi Mumbai resident was made to pay Rs 55,000 for five drinks, a hookah, and two plates of snacks.
