How it works
Bars and nightclubs in the Indiranagar 100 Feet Road and Koramangala 5th and 7th Block areas present inflated bills to tourists and non-regular customers, adding undisclosed cover charges, "table charges," or service fees not shown on the menu. Some establishments target groups where one member has been separated from the others and present the bill before the group can reconcile spending.
