🧨 Cook Adds Extra Grocery Charges Without Buying Anything
📍 Location: Sector 60, Gurgaon, Elanza Verona Fields, M/1293-G
Tejal Bhorvani aur unke husband Jeman Bhorvani Gurgaon ke posh area Sector 60 ke Elanza Verona Fields society mein rehte hain, flat number M/1293-G. Dono hi high-level banking roles mein hain aur har din kaafi busy rehte hain. Inhone 3 mahine pehle ek full-time cook Pardhan Yemprikar ko hire kiya tha, jo subah 7 baje se shaam 7 baje tak unke ghar ka khana manage karta tha—breakfast, lunch box, aur dinner sab usi ke zimmedaari thi.
Tejal ne cooking ke liye sabziyon ka ek monthly budget set kiya tha—Rs. 7,000 cash aur baaki sab online paid grocery. Pardhan har 4-5 din mein list banakar kehta tha ki “madam, nimbu, dhaniya, masale khatam ho gaye, aaj le aata hoon”, aur Tejal bina check kiye de deti thi cash ₹300–₹500.
💥 Main Conflict
Pehle sab normal lag raha tha, par phir ek din Tejal ke mann mein doubt aaya jab unhone dekha ki fridge mein to sab kuch already tha, phir bhi Pardhan ne nimbu-dhaniya ke ₹250 le liye the. Us din grocery ki koi bag bhi nahi aayi.
Tejal ne quietly agle hafte ek note karna shuru kiya—usne date-wise likhna shuru kiya Pardhan ne kitna cash liya, kya laane ka kaha, aur kya actual mein kitchen mein add hua. Tejal ne yeh bhi notice kiya ki ek hi masala teen baar allegedly “khatam” ho ja raha tha. Chaat masala 3 din mein khatam? Jeera powder har hafte?
😲 Gossip Ka Masala
Society ke WhatsApp group mein ek aur member Pushkara Jodhani ne casual chat mein mention kiya, “Yaar, mere cook ne aaj bhi chaat masala maanga… lagta hai sab cook log ek hi natak kar rahe hain.” Is baat par Tejal ne privately Pushkara ko ping kiya, aur pata chala ki unka cook bhi Pardhan ka dost hai, dono ek hi area se belong karte hain.
Pushkara ne bataya ki unke cook ne bola tha: “Paise extra le lo… madam busy hoti hai… check nahi karti.” Tab Tejal ko samajh aaya ki yeh toh planned ‘micro-fraud’ ho raha hai.
🧩 Event-by-Event Drama
Scene 1: Detective Tejal
Tejal ne ek din intentionally bola, “Aaj main camera check karungi kitchen ka.” Yeh sunkar Pardhan thoda ghabra gaya aur bola, “Kya hua madam?” Tejal ne bola, “Aise hi… sab kuch documented rakhna chahiye.” Usi din se usne cash lena bandh kar diya.
Scene 2: “Main kya chor hoon?”
Jab Tejal ne calmly poocha, “Pardhan, aapne 12 din mein 4 baar jeera powder liya hai?” Toh usne kaha, “Woh toh galti se likh gaya madam.” Fir bola, “Main kya chor hoon?” Voice thoda loud hone laga.
Scene 3: Husband’s Intervention
Jeman ne kaam se early chhutti li aur bola, “Pardhan, agar aapko zarurat thi, toh humse seedha bolte, lekin aap har week ₹300 le rahe ho bina kuch laaye.” Us par Pardhan ne finally accept kiya, “Sir, galti ho gayi… par main sab wapas kar dunga.” But kisi ne wapas paisa nahi diya.
🔀 Tension Point / Twist
Tejal ne jab naye cook ki search shuru ki toh teen agencies ne usi area ke cooks bhejne ki baat ki—aur un sab ke naam usi group se jude mile jahan Pardhan ka connection tha. Matlab yeh ek full fledged ‘kitchen cash scam’ network chal raha tha.
🧨 Gurgaon Cook’s Grocery Scam: ₹300 Every Week for Nimbu-Dhaniya That Never Arrived
Tejal Bhorvani ke cook Pardhan Yemprikar har 4-5 din mein ₹300–₹500 grocery ke naam par le jaata tha — lekin fridge aur pantry mein kuch naye items kabhi nahi dikhte the. Jab Tejal ne date-wise notebook maintain kiya, tab pattern samne aaya: masale baar baar repeat ho rahe the, bags missing thi. Jab poocha gaya, toh cook chillaya: “Main kya chor hoon?” End mein admit kiya, lekin paisa wapas nahi hua. Aur twist? Same scam aur cooks aur agencies se jude nikle.
❓ 10 Sharp FAQs from This Exact Household Drama
1. Mere cook bhi masale ke liye bar-bar ₹200-₹400 maangta hai, lekin use ka koi sign nahi — kya yeh red flag hai?
Asked by: Riya Mulchandani, 35 yrs, Indirapuram
Bilkul. Agar repeated items bina visible stock ke maange ja rahe hain (like jeera, chaat masala), toh yeh “micro-cheating” ka clear signal hai. 2 hafton ka tracker rakho — pattern turant pakda jaayega.
2. Cash grocery dena risky lagta hai — kya mujhe sab kuch online shift kar dena chahiye?
Asked by: Varsha Dehuri, 39 yrs, Sushant Lok
Yes. Cook ko cash dene ki jagah list lo aur khud Blinkit, BigBasket, ya Zepto se order karo. Track rakhna easy hota hai, aur scams avoid hote hain.
3. Agar cook baar-baar wahi masala maange, toh directly poochhna theek hoga?
Asked by: Anita Vohra, 41 yrs, Rajouri Garden
Haan, poochhna chahiye — lekin calm tone mein. “Aapne last week bhi yeh liya tha, ab fir?” Itna kehna hi kaafi hota hai to give a strong message.
4. Kya camera laga kar kitchen monitor karna ethical hai?
Asked by: Nikhil Duseja, 42 yrs, Sector 47, Gurgaon
Common areas jaise kitchen mein camera legal hota hai, agar staff ko informed kiya gaya ho. Sirf live view ya motion-based record use karo — privacy invade mat karo.
5. Cook ne jab bola ‘Main chor nahi hoon’, us waqt situation handle kaise karein?
Asked by: Parul Nagesh, 36 yrs, Sector 93B, Noida
Aggression se nahi, numbers se baat karo: “12 din mein 4 baar jeera liya gaya — aapne bola woh khatam tha, par packet aadha tha.” Logic ke aage defensiveness chhoti padti hai.
6. Kya main cook ki salary se missing groceries ka paisa deduct kar sakti hoon?
Asked by: Rohit Ankush, 43 yrs, Janakpuri
Only if you’ve warned earlier aur written proof ho — warna dispute ho sakta hai. Best approach: discussion → warning → deduct (last option).
7. Agencies repeatedly wahi type ke cooks bhej rahi hain — kya woh bhi part of scam hain?
Asked by: Himani Solanki, 34 yrs, Golf Course Extension Road
Ho sakta hai. Agencies local networks se hi kaam karti hain — agar unka pool same source se ho, toh behavioural pattern bhi repeat hoga. “Different background cook” specifically maango.
8. Cook ke network wale doston se bachne ke liye kya puchna chahiye interview mein?
Asked by: Deepika Rawal, 37 yrs, Model Town
Ask directly: “Pehle kahaan kaam kiya?”, “Kis agency se aaye ho?”, “Koi friend bhi nearby society mein kaam karta hai kya?” Jahan patterns dikhe, wahan pause lo.
9. Kya yeh scam sirf Gurgaon-Noida mein ho raha hai ya all India trend hai?
Asked by: Veer Chougule, 38 yrs, Powai, Mumbai
Grocery micro-theft metro cities mein kaafi common hai — Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Mumbai sab jagah. Busy couples ko target banaya jaata hai jo “verify” nahi karte.
10. Trust wapas kaise build karein kisi naye cook ke saath, especially jab aise cases ho chuke hoon?
Asked by: Malvika Naidu, 40 yrs, Whitefield, Bangalore
Start with clear rules: “No cash, only list.” Pehle 3 weeks daily inventory check karo, unko dikha bhi do. Jaise hi unhe pata chale aap track karte ho, habits change hoti hain.
❓ Open Trigger / Confusion
Tejal ne cook ko hata diya, par ab doubt yeh hai ki kya dusre cooks bhi aise hi micro-cheating karte hain? Grocery budget par poora trust tod gaya hai. Kya har ghar mein yeh natak chalta hai? Ya sirf bad influence wali ek group ki setting thi?
