After Rahul Bose was charged with ₹ 442 for two bananas, this is the second incident where a 5-star hotel overcharged its guest. Kartik Dhar was charged ₹ 1700 for two boiled eggs by Four Seasons Hotel in Mumbai. He posted a picture of his bill on Twitter which shows the exorbitant amount charged by the 5-star hotel.
He shared the photo tagging Rahul Bose and the hotel and captioned it saying “2 eggs for Rs 1700 at the @FourSeasons Mumbai. @RahulBose1 Bhai Aandolan karein?”

The Four Seasons Hotel has not replied to Kartik’s twitter post. Nor has the hotel come out with an official statement clarifying it, justifying their action or even being sorry about it.
