The US Embassy in India has issued a fresh advisory warning visa applicants against crimes like theft and assault, stating such actions could lead to visa revocation and future ineligibility. This comes after a viral video showed an Indian woman detained in Illinois for allegedly shoplifting $1,300 worth of goods from a Target store. In the footage, she pleads with officers to let her pay. “Law and order matter in the US,” the embassy said. The warning follows recent restrictions on US visas, including tighter scrutiny of applicants’ social media. Authorities stressed the consequences of breaking US laws while visiting. (PC: HT)
