‘Ye Chori Kar Ke Bhaag Raha Hai’: Delhi Shopkeeper Accuses Foreigner Of Stealing iPhone Case | Video
A foreigner travelling to India has caught the attention of people online and for all the wrong reasons. He was accused of taking a phone case from a shop in Delhi’s Connaught Place without paying for the item. A confrontation between the two was posted on social media, with many debating his behaviour and saying that foreigners have “superiority complex” issue.
The post, which was shared on X, revealed that the tourist picked up an iPhone case from a shop and attempted to leave without paying. It further alleged that when the shopkeeper tried to stop him, the foreigner began arguing and abusing the shopkeeper before walking away.
The video of the incident showed the shopkeeper following the foreign man outside the shop. “Ye angrez chori kar k bhaag raha tha CP ke andar toh humne usko pakadne ki koshish kari, ye ruka nahi toh humne isko roka toh aage jaake humko bolne laga humne nahi chori kari, ye hamari pakad mein nahi aaya (This foreigner was running away after stealing something in CP, we tried to catch him but he did not stop, when we finally confronted him he said he didn’t steal anything, we couldn’t apprehend him),” a man said.
He alleged that the foreigner abused him in English, telling him, “F–k you” and did not listen to him. The shopkeeper was seen following him to a great distance but the foreigner did not even stop once.
