In the wake of mid-day’s exposé of the dating app scam, the Amboli police on Saturday registered an FIR against unknown individuals for defrauding a 34-year-old IT professional, Pratik Jadhav, allegedly in collusion with the Godfather Club & Lounge in Andheri West.

According to the FIR, Jadhav and Manisha, a woman he had matched with on Tinder, on the evening of August 10 visited the Godfather Club, where the staff allegedly inflated their bill to Rs 55,000. Jadhav, a Belapur resident, stated in his FIR that he had created a Tinder profile four years ago but hadn’t used it. In August, he reactivated his profile as he was seeking to get married.
