The man felt his complaint deserved Tourism and Environment Minister Aaditya Thackeray’s attention: a Mahabaleshwar hotel, he said, had issued him a dire threat against going to the police when he discovered a hidden camera in his room.

In a tweet he posted on Tuesday, @rsravisani claimed he was told by hotel staff, “You won’t be able to return from here if you call the police.”

Besides Aaditya Thackeray, he marked the tourism department and the Mumbai Police.

But the police’s investigation appears to have unearthed a very different story.

First, when they examined the LED equipment, they found no hidden camera — although they’ll send it to forensics for further investigation.

As well, an examination of other lights in the room revealed nothing fishy, said Satara district SP Tejaswi Satpute.

Second, it emerged that the customer had had an argument with the hotel owner about billing, and that he’d threatened to make allegations about a hidden camera.

When the owner asked him to accompany him to the police station so an investigation could reveal any such cameras, the customer said he didn’t want to pursue the issue and left.

And later in the day, he put out his tweet.
