An Indian woman was caught shoplifting at a US Target store in a viral video from January 15. The Gujarati-speaking woman was visibly distressed, shaking and sobbing during police interrogation. She admitted limited English proficiency and nodded when asked if she intended to resell stolen items. Officers assured her she wouldn't be jailed if cooperative but must appear in court and was permanently banned from Target. CCTV showed her walking past checkout with unpaid merchandise. Social media users criticized her behavior, with some calling it "acting." This follows similar cases involving Indian nationals shoplifting at Target stores, raising concerns about immigration consequences including potential deportation and impact on visa applications.
