An Indian woman has been arrested by police in the state of Illinois at the renowned retail store Target, accused of stealing clothes and other items worth approximately $1,300 (around 1.11 lakh rupees). The bodycam video of the incident is currently going viral on social media, sparking significant discussion about American police and staff.
According to the information provided by the police, the woman was wandering in the store for more than seven hours. After the store employees noticed her suspicious behavior, the police were informed. When the police arrived at the scene, they began questioning the woman. During this time, the woman was intercepted while trying to exit through the store's west gate with items without paying any money.
"The woman had been wandering in the store for 7 hours. She was picking up various items, looking at something on her mobile, and finally trying to leave without paying," a staff member is seen telling the police in the video. Following this incident, the police have arrested the woman and charged her with a criminal offense. During the initial police inquiry, the woman stated that she was willing to pay for the items. However, the inquiry officer asks her, "Is it allowed to steal in India? I don't think so." — This question has gained significant attention on social media, and many have expressed outrage over it.
Meanwhile, this incident is generating many reactions on social media. Some have taken serious note of this matter and criticized the woman for tarnishing the name of Indians. On the other hand, some have objected to the behavior of the American police, condemning the comment that "all Indians steal" as inappropriate.
