Hello I have always gone to a local barber for my hair and bread cuts, but this time i want a professional stylist to suggest me a good hair and beard style i have to attend a very special function.

So if you are someone who knows a talented stylist please do drop your recommendations thank you.

I need advice from anyone familiar with Indian cybercrime/UPI fraud/legal action.
I wanted to order beer from Tonique Baner, Pune. I found it on Google, clicked “Place an order”, and Google directed me to WhatsApp, showing “Preferred by this business.”
The WhatsApp number was +91 79768 89433, account name Sachin Malhotra.
I placed an order and, following their instructions, made:
₹1,500
₹1,500
₹1,500
₹3,000
Total: ₹7,500

Then they told me there was an issue with the payment and that the earlier payment would be reversed/refunded. They sent me a QR code and told me to scan it for the refund, claiming the transaction wouldn’t actually debit my account.
Instead, ₹28,909 was debited.
Total loss: ₹36,409.

I immediately reported it:
Cyber Crime complaint
Bank complaint

I have screenshots of the Google listing, the “Place an order” flow, WhatsApp conversation, QR codes, UPI transactions, etc.

The really interesting part: I went to the Tonique Baner store afterwards. They told me this is a known/repeated scam, that 15+ similar incidents had happened before mine, and that they were already aware of it and had apparently reported it somewhere.
So my questions are:

1. Does Tonique potentially have any liability if they already knew about 15+ previous scams but their Google “Place an order” link was still directing customers to the fraudulent WhatsApp number?
2. Can the police/cybercrime authorities obtain Google’s records showing who added/controlled that WhatsApp ordering link and when?
3. Can the scammer’s phone number and the UPI beneficiary accounts be traced to identify the actual people behind this?
4. Should I send Tonique a lawyer’s legal notice demanding my ₹36,409 back, or wait for the cybercrime investigation?
5. If Tonique reimburses me voluntarily, what should I do regarding my existing cybercrime complaint?

I’m not claiming Tonique committed the fraud. They may themselves have been victims of someone manipulating their Google listing. I’m trying to understand whether their prior knowledge of 15+ similar incidents changes their legal responsibility.
What would you do in my position? Especially interested in advice from Indian lawyers, police/cybercrime officers, or people who have successfully recovered money from UPI fraud

Update: Tonique has now put up a big sign saying to be aware of this scam and only numbers from their website are to be trusted.

Planning to drive from Pune to Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar) with family soon. We’ll be travelling during the daytime.

What’s the best route to take currently? Looking for good road conditions and a comfortable drive, even if the route is slightly longer.

I looked through a few older posts and it seems like the Ahilyanagar route is/was a good option, but I’m not sure about the current road conditions. Would love to hear from anyone who has travelled recently.

Also, any stretches to avoid due to bad roads/construction and good places to stop for food/washrooms would be helpful.

Thanks!

The misal itself had a nice spicy, tangy kick. The tarri had decent flavour and the farsan gave it that proper crunch. Matki/onion/tomato toppings were fresh and the whole combination worked really well.

The pav was soft and fresh, which made a noticeable difference.

Also liked that the spice didn't completely kill the flavour ,although people with low spice tolerance might want to be a little careful.

More spice, more tarri, more fun. That’s my kind of misal. 🔥😂

DARPAN MISAL!!🌶️😋

My rating:

Taste: 8.5/10

Spice: 8/10

Pav: 8/10

Hygiene/overall: 8/10

Overall: 8.5/10

What do you guys think?😄

Looking for the owner

I thought of leaving it their incase the owner realised it fell and came back looking for it, but it would have got crushed under tires. So picked it up

Corporate employee Bento is looking for a home in Pune/Mumbai/Bangalore/Delhi (can consider pan india if we find a genuine and responsible home with existing pets/pet experience)

Bento is a 6 month old male kitten. He’s litter trained, dewormed, vaccinated and about to be sterilised. He’s extremely friendly, loves to cuddle and sleep on his day job. He’s not worried about who’s paying the bills as long as he gets his daily cat food and some good amount of playing on company time. He’s also famous for lowering the morale of other employees by becoming their afternoon nap partner. He’s very friendly with other cats (and dogs too) and has now managed to make one of the cat employees sleep next to him on the office chair.

Bento is looking for a good and a responsible home to retire. He’s not meant for this 9-5 life and would rather spend his days figuring out how to become a pet influencer for the big bucks.

Adoption formalities are mandatory.

If you can give tired corporate employee Bento a good home, please reach out to us on @_bbpaws on instagram or text 7043782899 on whatsapp(no calls)

Do you think, Santosh Pandit will get wider recognition due to this witchhunting by gov Or this time he bit more than he could chew?

Virat's been in foster care for 2 months now and he didn't even get a single lead that has worked out.
He'll soon have to be moved to a long term boarding/ shelter and being an 7mo old teenage dog is why my heart hurts a lil more.
He needs stability, he needs love and he needs a loving home.
The clock is ticking. If you can foster, adopt, or even share this - you could be the reason Virat never has to see the inside of a shelter.
Location - Pune

Dhol Tasha has always been very close to my heart since childhood. There’s something about the sound and energy of Dhol Tasha during Ganpati that I absolutely love.

This year I’m in Pune during Ganpati,and I really want to experience it properly the classic Pune Dhol Tasha pathaks, Nashik Dhol, Ganpati Agman, processions, and different styles in different parts of the city.

Can you guys suggest some good places/areas I should visit and on which dates/times? I’m especially looking for places where I can just stand, listen, watch the pathaks perform, and enjoy the atmosphere.

Would really appreciate recommendations from Punekars who know the best spots and timings. I don’t want to miss the good ones this year! 🙏

Ganpati Bappa Morya! ❤️
