An Indian couple on vacation in Vietnam has sparked controversy after being caught shoplifting from a local street vendor. The incident was captured on CCTV footage, which has since gone viral, attracting sharp criticism from both Indian and international netizens.
According to reports, the couple, who have reportedly spent lakhs on their foreign trip, were seen discreetly slipping items into their bags at a roadside stall. However, their actions did not go unnoticed, as the entire theft was recorded by the vendor’s CCTV camera.
**The Incident**
In the viral video, the woman can be seen carrying a baby while her husband engages the vendor in conversation. The husband asks the vendor to get him a particular item hung up at the stall. As soon as the vendor turns away to retrieve the item, the husband discreetly slips something from the stall and passes it to his wife.
Later in the video, when the husband enters the stall with the vendor, the wife is seen shoplifting another item from the stack and hiding it in her bag.
**Netizens’ Reaction**
Social media users have widely condemned the couple’s behavior, with many pointing out how such actions tarnish India’s image abroad.
One user commented, “And then these stolen things shall be gifted to their families! Imagine they have a young child with them. The value systems they pass on to their kids.”
Another wrote sarcastically, “How innocent this couple is in believing that nobody will catch their shoplifting act. From East to West, India is best in shoplifting, civic sense, and discipline. The whole world is noticing our extraordinary skills.”
Some reactions were more direct, with one user saying, “Why are Indians everywhere like this? What’s wrong with Indians? I really want to know how people live in India? My god, these people are so *********.”
**Conclusion**
As the clip continues to circulate online, the couple has become the target of widespread outrage. What was meant to be a luxury vacation has instead turned into a lesson in accountability and a stark reminder of the consequences of such actions.
