The Chandigarh administration on Wednesday ordered a probe into the allegations by actor Rahul Bose that city-based star hotel, JW Marriott, exorbitantly charged him Rs 442.50 for two bananas.
Rahul Bose had tweeted about “illegal and exorbitant charge of GST” by the luxury hotel.
Chandigarh Deputy Commissioner and Excise and Taxation Commissioner Mandip Singh Brar has asked Assistant Excise and Taxation Commissioner to investigate how the hotel could charge GST on fresh fruits.
Rahul Bose had posted on his tweet, “You have to see this to believe it. Who said fruit wasn’t harmful to your existence? Ask the wonderful folks at @JWMarriottChd #goingbananas #howtogetfitandgobroke #potassiumforkings.”
“So I am shooting in Chandigarh and I am staying at this beautiful suite at JW Marriott where they give you all these elegant freebies like these chocolate cookies. God knows how much these beautiful flowers must have cost, but get this, I was in the gym and I asked for two bananas and check the bill out,” the actor said.
“They’re just too good for me. Well done JW Marriott Chandigarh,” the actor commented before ending his video.
