AN Indian restaurant owner in the UK was pleasantly surprised when a guilt-stricken customer paid up for a meal taken 13 years ago through an anonymous letter. The customer sent an unsigned apology and £60 in cash to the police recently after walking out without paying for a meal ordered in 1996. The customer had requested the cash to be forwarded to the Seaview Palace Tandoori in Swansea, South Wales. The hitherto existing restaurant had been demolished, and the police could only track the owner, Samsul Bari, after five months. Bari now owns a restaurant in Pembroke, West Wales. The Telegraph quoted the 48-year-old Bari as saying: "I want to give a big thank-you to the individual for getting in touch with the police after all those years. It seemed like a genuine mistake. I really appreciate the person coming forward." The customer had only
taken a late night meal worth £10, but it looks like he wanted to be
free of the guilt and paid up more now. "It seems the author had
a pang of conscience and wished to repay the debt with some money
added to take account of inflation," a South Wales Police
spokesman said. — ANI
