I just read this and was wondering what is people opinion on this. Here's the story on his arrest by TOI (referenced later):

After his arrest, this story appeared on medium:

The audio clips are mainly in Kannada so listen in only if you can understand the language.
This has caused many founders to back him up:

while there seems to be a story claiming to be from the other side:
https://www.nextbigwhat.com/stayzilla-case-297/
Couple of things which strike me here is:
a. My way or the highway nature of Indian business. There might be efforts to negotiate the bills from both the sides but there doesn't seem anything to suggest this. Asking people to approach courts or filing complaints is odd.
b. Criminal vs civil offenses - I always wonder why do police in India approach people or even entertain civil offense cases. It just causes confusion and comes out nothing but as a shakedown tactic. They cannot arrest people or ask them to come to station unless there is a proper complaint or cognizable offense is there.
c. Harassment - This is more of a personal opinion but I find people here tend to easily allege harassment. So there will be two guys hurling abuses at each other, one doesn't get his way and the next you know it he will accuse the other for harassment. (in this case - the landlord problem seems quite real but the media agency thing seems kinda iffy).
Still does anyone know how true is the claim that they have not refunded people?
