Tour operator's failure to pay his Chinese counterpart led to a group of 25 doctors from Mumbai undergoing a harrowing experience. They were threatened with imprisonment and denied services as a result.

According to a report by DNA, the doctors and their families received a tour package to Hong Kong, Macau and Shenzhen by the Malad Medical Association (MMA). A sum of Rs 58 lakh was paid to one Vinayak Zarekar, who owns the Opex Tour and Travels and they commenced their journey on May 16.
