According to details shared by X user ‘Raj Maji’, the incident occurred at a restaurant called ‘Tales of Tavern’ located in CBD Belapur, Sector 15, Navi Mumbai. A customer was billed Rs. 41,697 for their meal. The customer raised concerns about the huge bill, which led to an altercation between the bouncer and him.
The timing of the billing has particularly raised eyebrows, as it suggests that the establishment may have been operating beyond permissible hours. According the photo posted, the bill was prepared at 2.21 am.
Officials from the Navi Mumbai Police Commissionerate have taken note of the incident and are currently looking into the matter. Necessary checks are being conducted to ascertain whether the establishment had valid permissions to remain operational at that hour and if any violations of licensing norms occurred.
The visuals circulating online have further intensified public debate, with many questioning how such establishments continue to function late into the night despite regulatory frameworks in place. The presence of bouncers and the reported altercation have also raised concerns regarding safety and crowd management during late hours.
