[QUOTE=AnilTheHunter;2884372]The manager has been taken in. But I don't think they can touch the real ownership.

In any case it's better to stay off the cold front for some time.[/QUOTE]Take the numbers and charge them with what? The mongers can simply claim they took only massage in the worst case, and the LE has no way to prove anything.

The people going there know the worth of that place and pay. That's where the transaction begins and ends for an individual. The people running the place would have reduced the amount of payment for the cops as a good number of international spas have come up around Bangalore. The cops never work for the salary, they work for the commission they get from illegal businesses . I think most people reading this post do agree.

Nirvana got raided yesterday: [URL]https://youtu.be/rYaWPKbNoYk?feature=shared[/URL].[/QUOTE]OMG. Was he running a Harem? How big was the operation? I could count over a dozen girls. The interior of the massage room, with Bed instead of massage table and couch, totally looks it's main purpose was FS.

[QUOTE=MongeringLeo;2884285]I'm not speaking on behalf of everyone but purely sharing my thoughts. I believe we've all learnt the lesson of not to ruin our contacts by openly sharing in the forum or praising a contact since the prices immediately get jacked up by some idiots and contact becomes unavailable due to sheer volume of callouts and in the end we're left with our dick in hands.

Unless we truly embrace the spirit of brotherhood, learn price control and / or seek guidance on same from OP, this would keep getting worse.[/QUOTE]If we don't share contacts and feedback, what happens is that some monger will chance upon the contact and if whatever the WG is quoting is within his budget, he will pay the amount. It won't matter if he is paying way above the average since he has no prior information on what the right amount is. I have been on both sides of this. I have significantly overpaid for someone (17 k instead of 8 k, I was new back then), and folks have paid significantly more to someone else who I met for much lower rates. I can't blame them as I didn't post an FR and they didn't know.

If you see the Delhi forum, folks upload a pic of the wg they are planning to meet and ask for feedback from the mongers. That never happens here. Perhaps this might be a way going forward. This way, folks will get an idea of what the ideal amount should be.

Unless everyone contributes, this problem will remain.

Of course, some WGs will increase their prices, but newer gems will also keep on getting discovered.

[QUOTE=SKUnknown;2884269]This happened several months back however thought of sharing the experience with fellow mongers.

This spa is in JP Nagar above the Pot Biryani takeaway place. At that time it was recently taken over by a new management and with new staff.

I thought things would have gotten better and went in for a 90 minute massage for back pain.

Half-way through the session the receptionist (a young guy) knocked the door and said they are closing the spa immediately due to some issue. I had to wear my cloths super fast and had no time to weaer my shoes and literally ran out with holding them in my hands. Wore them just outside the building and ran 100-200 mtrs away from the spa. Took inside road to JP Nagar residential area. Calmed down and drank some water.

I realized what had happened. It was a lucky escape.

This spa with earlier management and different name had faced issues with LE, local goons, and local TV channels. It looks like this place is jinxed and change in name or management won't make difference. Please do avoid this place.

P.S. : If you can't figure out which place is this. DM me!

Stay safe.

NOTE: anyone has gone through the pain of getting caught in a raid and can share experience and what it takes to get out of it? I am sure everyone will appreciate sharing it here.[/QUOTE]That is indeed scary bro! Thanks for sharing. Did you exit by the main entrance or did they let you out through the backdoor or something?

I guess you're referring to Potful Biryani near Delmia Signal in JP Nagar. I'd visited the previous spa. Zion Spa before it changed to a new name now. Zion spa seems to have relocated to BSK near Kathriguppe now. Visited them once, but was not happy with the service.

I've visited Sparadise spa in JP Nagar (near Aster RV Hospital) a couple of times in the last 3 months. They have a nice reception. Clean rooms and bathrooms. Sureshot FS place. I didn't ask if they provide FS since I never go beyond B2 B:-the.

1st Visit:

1. 5 K at counter. Fat SI called Kavya. Straightaway started asking what extras I want. Asked about rates in other spas. She said 5 K for topless B2 B. I said no way. She kept pushing. I didn't budge beyond 3 K. Finally came down to my rate. Worst HJ I've ever received. Just rubbed tits 10 times over my body and then started a mechanical HJ. Too rough. Had to ask her to slow down. Terrible experience.

2nd visit: (1. 5 months later).

1. 5 K at counter. Over phone, the reception guy said he allows selection of therapist, but when I went there, he said he'd allocate a good therapist. Got a North Indian therapist called Sonia. From Delhi. Slim figure with a decent face. Not very talkative, despite me trying to strike a conversation. Kept cribbing about north indian food not being available in BLR. Popped the question just 10 minutes into the msg. Quoted 2 K for HJ and 6 K for B2 B. I just laughed and said that it is too expensive compared to other spas nearby. She said this is the regular price at their spa. I said I'll take B2 B is she was ok with 3 K. She said min 4 K. She finally came down to 3. 5 K, but I didn't budge beyond 3 K. For once, my brain won over my Johnny and I said I don't want any extras. Just had regular massage, took shower and left. This is my second bad experience at Sparadise. I'd visited them 1. 5 months back and was hoping that things might have changed by now. Looks like it hasn't. Won't be visiting them ever again.

Don't see how they can bother people from a DB. Lots of people visit this spa just for a massage. So it would be just harassment.

Customers caught red-handed will need to pay around 5 L. Therapists usually shell out 2 L, could be 4 L for this spa.

I expect the owner to payout at least 15 C. Not sure who the owner had pissed off for this to happen.

Interestingly this happened in the first week of a new year. Maybe the LE wanted to renegotiate rates going forward.

This is also a LE signal to other spas to increase their cut. One can expect higher per hour rates in the spas going forward.

Expect the place to reopen in 10-15 days. Let us see.

[QUOTE=WaltWhite;2884316]Yes, its GF.

For the bro who wants to see her pic, well, lets her be in the space that she is in now. Both the girls have distanced themselves from the business since quite a few years. Lets respect their privacy now. Bips had a typical NE face and light dusky skin if that really matters![/QUOTE]Multiple pics of both Bips and Pencil are already posted on the forum. In the India forum (where list of cities are given) click on photos infront of Bangalore forum. Scroll down and find Bips and Pencil and their photos are there.

[QUOTE=WaltWhite;2883987]Bips has settled with her GF in Guwahati. I met her over coffee last year, she has quit the business and is well settled with her same sex partner.

Pencil Shetty has settled in Brisbane.[/QUOTE]Bips still keeps posting pics regularly in IG from various pubs in and around Bangalore.

As per the new articles they have detained customers as well which is scary. I once faced similar situation long back in GB road Delhi in my staring days of mongering I was staying full night and around 2 am cops came there for raid. The Den staff opened some back doors and asked all mongers like us to go and hide inside. We stayed for approx one hour and once everything settled ran away from that place and never visited that place again.

[QUOTE=OceansK;2884266]It's always the women getting "rescued" and the owners getting arrested. Are customers safe from LE during such raids?

It actually is funny how they say these women were rescued. Rescued from employment? Maybe some of them were coerced into being a sex worker who knows. Either way it seems like the women and the customers are relatively safe from any legal consequences. I will be hunting indies for now. Safest option right now legally speaking.[/QUOTE]

What will they do by verifying the number? There can't be any genuine case against those who has visited in the past.

[QUOTE=Internalactive;2884283]How many to they have. 35 is big number to get caught.[/QUOTE]Never been there due to very high charges but must be huge.

Customers have to pay a heavy price to get out of such a messy situation if ever been caught during the raid. Avoid these spas for a while guys. Next in line are MTD, Ghogi, splash spa etc. Stay safe.

Check this link out guys. A recent ruling (last month) by Kerala high court says customers in a brothel like set up (which will include Spas) can be charged under ITP act. And this will involve rigorous imprisonment of minimum 7 years. It's scary as fuck. To the best of my knowledge, only pimps / handlers used to get charged under this provision, but this ruling gives police the power to entrap customers too.

Great escape bro otherwise imagine getting caught and becoming a famous person. Raids are going on across Bangalore on spas. I think it is a bi-annual formality the LEs perform in Bangalore.
