Wtf girl’s image is blurred and man’s visible, who is the victim in this scenario?

[pratikjadhav]

These pubs are running such scams.I was charged 55k.

[PranayDalvi]

why the girl's faces are blurred their faces must be revealed so that people will come to know about their reality and ahead nobody will fall into their trap

[vikashtirkey]

Stupidity is when you do as told by a new person you have met.

[rohanadhikari]

1000s of such girls are active in Delhi NCR region...just vistit Vishvidayalaya South Delhi metro station you will find dozen of such girls waiting for their target...All cafes around the same are involved in this.
Other locations are Karkadorma mall, Ghaziabad Rajnagar Mall, Cafe in Laxminagar, Cafe near GTB nagar metro station and so on.

Poor privacy standards, revealing the faces of guys is the worst thing could have been done.

Moment the girl her orders 2nd or 3rd time to understand that something is not right.
No decent girl would behave greedily

[maggieznoodles]

These Men are lucky that they are getting away after paying money. Else the girl will file a fake rap* case or se*ual harassment case and will extort life long.

Her blood test should be done for checking alcohol level in her blood. If it is -ve then the club might have given 9K worth water.

[Neomatrix]

totally dud sting..you shd hv involved police in this matter.Police would hv checked their CCTV to establish connection btw them..If guilty are not punished then purpose was not met.
yes awareness hua hai i agree..

[Melvin_rego]

A clear nexus with the club, the owners should be arrested for cheating

[souradeepdas]

Nowadays, young girls are engaging in Only-Fans and earning a significant amount of money. Many famous feminists also support this as a means of achieving financial independence for women. Although the production and distribution of pornography are illegal in India, many young girls employed in IT companies and residing in hostels or dormitories create Only-Fans videos part time and earn huge money. Some even get involved in escort services. Personally, I believe that by earning money in this manner, women themselves are responsible for deteriorating their image through these actions. Simultaneously, they force society to perceive other girls similarly, as it becomes challenging to differentiate between them. This is the reason why men on the street make inappropriate propositions. This the the other side of the coin and the root cause. Always blaming men for everything is pathetic.

Yes it happend with me in Delhi in Punjabi Bagh ..for 4 drinks they charged me rs 19550

[scch]

Scamming is the national sport of India

[Kimjongun-k]

[DaveSustain]

I don't think the Mumbai Police have taken any action on this. Very strange.

[binubinu]

Clubs have developed new business model..

[NeverSatisfy]
