Cook Added Extra Groceries to Monthly List & Pocketed the Cash
📍 Location: Sector 31, Gurgaon – Bella Capri Greens, W/3928-H
Sulekha Jain ko toh har mahine ka kharcha bilkul notebook mein likhna hota hai. Sector 31 ke Bella Capri Greens waali W/3928-H flat mein, unka ek hi routine hai – subah puja, fir groceries ka check, aur cook Jitendra Verma ko instructions dena. Dinesh Jain toh stock market mein busy rehte hain, toh ghar ka sara ration-ka hisaab Sulekha hi dekhti hai. Jitendra kaam ka toh badhiya hai – lekin uska nature thoda “extra smart” hai, ye toh pehle hi samajh aa gaya tha.
💥 Main Conflict
Ek mahine ki grocery list mein sab kuch normal tha – daal, chawal, sabzi, masale – lekin Sulekha ko laga, thoda zyada ho gaya is baar ka bill. Pehle toh socha inflation hoga… lekin jab teen mahine ke bill check kiye, toh clearly dikh gaya – har baar list mein 3–4 items aise the jo kabhi use hi nahi hote!
😲 Gossip Ka Masala
“Arey Sunita ne bataya tha pehle se… uska bhai bhi issi Jitendra ke through kaam karta tha, aur usne bhi kaha tha – ye banda ration mein chori karta hai,”
“Mrs. Kohara ne toh seedha bol diya – ‘Aapko abhi samajh aaya? Yeh toh sab jagah yahi karta hai’,”
“Society ke group mein koi naam nahi le raha, lekin ek post ayi thi ‘Beware of kitchen staff adding personal items to bills’ – sabko pata tha, par kisi ne proof nahi pakda tha.”
🧩 Event-by-Event Drama
Scene 1 – List ka Jhol
Ek din Sulekha ne Jitendra ko kaha – “Is baar list bana ke WhatsApp pe bhejna.”
Jitendra ne ek neatly typed list bheji… par usme ek item tha – “Organic Chia Seeds – ₹420”.
Sulekha hil gayi – “Hamare ghar mein chia kab se khaya ja raha hai?”
Usne kaam wali Sarita se pucha – “Yeh chia kya hota hai?”
Sarita boli – “Wo toh Jitendra bhaiya apne dabbe mein laate hain gym ke liye…”
Scene 2 – Kirane wale ki Confession
Sulekha ne direct “Jai Maa Annapurna Store” wale Lalit se baat kari.
“Bhaiya, ek baat batao… Jitendra jo list deta hai, wo uske naam se hota hai ya mere?”
Lalit: “Didi, wo bolta hai cash deta hai, toh main uske naam se hi de deta hoon. Aapke list ke kuch items same rehte hain, baaki toh… usne bola ki ‘Madam ko new health items chahiye’.”
Sulekha ka toh muh sukh gaya.
Raat ko Dinesh Jain ne poora account nikala – ₹2800 ka maal “extra” nikla pichle 2 mahine mein.
Scene 3 – Aamna-Saamna
Agle din Sulekha ne seedha Jitendra se poocha – “Chia seeds hum kab se khane lage?”
Jitendra thoda ghabraya, bola – “Madam, aap hi ne bola tha… healthy raho!”
Sulekha – “Humne bola aur tune le bhi liya? Cash kahan gaya? Bill to tere naam se tha.”
Jitendra chup.
Dinesh ne seedha bola – “Kal se mat aana.”
🔀 Tension Point / Twist
Raat mein building ke security CCTV room se Naseer Bhai ka call aaya – “Bhaiya, Jitendra aaj 8 baje apna locker clear karke gaya… sab dabbe, protin wala powder, ek bada bag… kuch toh garbar tha!”
Duggu, jo ki peon hai society ka, usne bataya – “Jitendra bhai ne mujhe ek din bola tha – ‘Madam ko kya pata, ghar ka ration aur gym ka sab ek hi bag mein jata hai!’”
Cook Added Fake Grocery Items Like Chia Seeds to Monthly List in Sector 31, Gurgaon
Sector 31 ke Bella Capri Greens mein Sulekha Jain ko laga sab normal chal raha hai, par unke cook Jitendra Verma ne grocery list mein aise items jod diye jo kisi ko chahiye hi nahi the – jaise “chia seeds”, “protein mix”, “organic peanut butter”. Aur paisa? Pocket mein! Pichhle 2 mahine mein ₹2800 ka ration extra nikla, jo Jitendra apne gym ke liye use kar raha tha. Sulekha ne pehle doubt kiya, fir kirane wale se confirm kara, aur CCTV se proof mila ki cook personal maal ghar ke ration ke naam pe laa raha tha!
✅ FAQs Based on the Same Issue:
1. How to identify if a cook is adding extra items in your grocery list for personal use?
Priya Nayar, 36 yrs, Mayur Vihar Phase 2:
I noticed our cook kept asking for expensive dry fruits and health powders, which no one in our family eats. If you see items you’ve never used before or don’t finish within a month, ask your local kirana shop to show past bills. They might be cash bills in the cook’s name, not yours.
2. Can I confront my cook if I suspect them of misusing grocery money without proof?
Renu Thakkar, 41 yrs, Rajouri Garden:
When I doubted my maid Nirmala Devi, I didn’t have hard proof. So I asked her to start sending the list via WhatsApp. After 2 weeks, I compared and noticed repeated patterns — like a 500g health mix no one touched. That helped me bring it up politely, without accusation.
3. My cook says the extra items are “for health” as suggested by me. How do I counter that?
Arif Pasha, 39 yrs, Paharganj:
My cook once added flax seeds and spirulina capsules, claiming my mother wanted them. I asked my mother directly — she had never heard of it. So next time, always confirm with the actual user. Don’t let vague health excuses pass without checking.
4. Are shopkeepers also involved when cooks do this kind of scam?
Divya Saini, 33 yrs, Karol Bagh:
Yes, sometimes. My cook would pay cash and ask the shopkeeper not to mention some items. When I confronted the shop, they said, “Usne bola madam ki marzi se hai.” Later, I told them to send me a photo of each bill daily. That stopped the fraud.
5. How to avoid cook-related grocery fraud in joint families?
Neena Goyal, 47 yrs, Defence Colony:
In big families, it’s easy to hide extra items. We started maintaining a Google Sheet where each item added had to be initialled by one family member. Once we found 3 gym-related items that no one approved — turned out the cook’s son used them.
6. My cook left suddenly after I questioned him about groceries. Should I be worried?
Mahesh Kapoor, 44 yrs, Rohini Sector 22:
Yes. Our previous cook left the next day after we asked why we’re buying coconut sugar. Later, CCTV showed him leaving with protein boxes. If a cook leaves abruptly after confrontation, it’s likely they knew they were cornered.
7. Can domestic workers misuse cash payments meant for monthly ration?
Zainab Mirza, 37 yrs, Lajpat Nagar 4:
Absolutely. We used to give ₹5,000 monthly in cash for groceries. Later realized only ₹3,800 was used – the rest pocketed. Now we pay directly to the shop via UPI and cross-verify the items delivered.
8. How to keep track of what your cook is buying without sounding too suspicious?
Ankur Jindal, 40 yrs, Model Town:
Ask them to share a photo of the bill or the item itself once purchased. I made it casual — “Please send pics for record, I’m tracking our family’s diet.” It worked, and stopped the unnecessary things from creeping in.
9. My cook says he’s buying what the previous employer used to give. Should I allow it?
Sudha Parmar, 51 yrs, Hauz Khas:
No way. Our cook said he was “used to” peanut butter, energy drinks, and MCT oil. I told him plainly, “This isn’t your previous gym-fed employer’s house.” Make household preferences clear from Day 1.
10. How much monthly budget is “normal” for a 3-member family in Delhi for basic groceries?
Gurmeet Grewal, 38 yrs, Saket:
We are a family of three and spend ₹5,000–₹6,000 on standard ration — daal, chawal, oil, masala. The moment it crossed ₹8,000, we dug in and found exotic items in the bill. That’s when we realized the cook was buying his own supplies on our tab.
❓ Open Trigger / Confusion
Ab log keh rahe hain – “Ek cook ke upar itna trust kaise kar liya?”
Kuch bolte – “Itna bhi overreaction nahi karna chahiye tha – gym jaata hai, thoda le gaya toh kya?”
Par Sulekha ka kehna hai – “Trust ka misuse karna chhoti chori nahi hoti…”
Par aap batao – kya Jitendra waqayi galat tha? Ya gharwale hi zyada suspicious ho gaye the?
Aapke ghar mein bhi koi kitchen ka budget quietly disturb kar raha hai kya?
