Mohammed Sharif, a man originally from the United Arab Emirates, pretended to be an employee of Abu Dhabi’s royal family in order to stay in a luxury hotel in Delhi for four months and collected a bill of almost 24,000 euros before committing himself vanished into thin air.
Sharif introduced himself at the reception Leela Palace bragging to very important acquaintances on August 1st and thus getting a room which he only left on November 20th.
Hotel employees allege he stole several items from room 427 where he was staying, including silver cutlery and a pearl tray. When Sharif arrived at the hotel last summer, he told staff that he was a UAE resident and that he was from work closely with the sheikh Falah Bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the Abu Dhabi Royal Family.

Sharif also said he was personally working with the Sheikh and was in India on official business. He even provided a business card, UAE ID card and other documents to support his story and chatted daily with the hotel staff about his life as an Emir.
Nobody suspected anything until November 20, when Sharif literally disappeared. The police examine all the documents he has provided and suspect that they are completely false. The bill for the rooms and services purchased during his four-month stay came to 2,300,000 rupees (about 26,000 euros). The man only paid a small part of the bill and then disappeared. The Indian police have been chasing him for two months without success.
