Out of the ladies, Ms Fatima was the only one who could only cook, and she was in the Alcazar group. 

The criteria of the groups were such that each of the groups had at least one lady member, two members who could cook, and two members who could set up a tent.

As Tapioca had four members, Alcazar and Rastapopoulos must have had three members each. Hence one of the members of each of Alcazar and Rastapopoulos must be a member who knew both cooking and setting up a tent. The other two in each of Alcazar and Rastapopoulos must be a member who could only cook and a member who could only set up a tent.

Mr Chintu and Ms Haimanti were the only members who could do both cooking and setting up a tent. So, any one of them must be in Alcazar and the other in Rastapopoulos. But since Ms Fatima was the only lady in Alcazar, we can be sure that it is Mr Chintu who was in Alcazar and thus Ms Haimanti was in Rastapopoulos.

Now, out of the four members who could only cook, Mr Abir and Mr Emon were in Tapioca, and Ms Fatima was in Alcazar. The only one left is Mr Jyoti who was bound to be in Rastapopoulos.

Hence Mr Jyoti was definitely in Rastapopoulos.
