New Delhi: In yet another bizarre and shameful incident, an Indian family was caught escaping with accessories they had stolen from a luxury hotel in Indonesia’s Bali. A video of the incident has now gone viral on social media.
The video was posted on Twitter by a user named Hemanth. The family attempted to steal accessories from the hotel room and the bathroom and were caught by the hotel staff after they had loaded some of their luggage on a vehicle.
This family was caught stealing hotel accessories. Such an embarrassment for India.
Each of us carrying an #IndianPassport must remember that we are ambassadors of the nation and behave accordingly.

In the video, a woman can be seen arguing with the officials from the hotel who seem to be vigorously going through the suitcases. Apparently, the family had “stolen” whatever they could get their hands on – which included decorative items, toiletries, electronics, towels and so on. The security officials can be seen telling the family that they’d managed to steal ‘everything’ from the hotel room, including cloth hangers.
She repeatedly asks the officials to let them go since they had a flight to catch. She even offers to pay for the stuff they’d stolen. A man also can be heard saying, “I will pay.” However, hotel officials refuse to accept payment.
I understand this happened in #Bali. Having lived in Indonesia & visited Bali, I can personally vouch for Indonesians being the gentlest, most respectful people I have met. They hold India & Indians in very high esteem & its gut-wrenching to see us in such a compromised position.
