NEW DELHI: The US embassy in India has warned that “committing assault, theft, or burglary in the United States won’t just cause you legal issues — it could lead to your visa being revoked and make you ineligible for future US visas”. The warning was issued days after a video of an Indian woman who tried to leave a store with a cart full of items without paying went viral. This also prompted the embassy to say, “The US values law and order and expects foreign visitors to follow all US laws.”Responding to queries on the issue, the ministry of external affairs said that “whether a person is living in any country—whether they are a citizen of that country or a foreign national—it is their responsibility to abide by the laws there”. “I would say that whenever our people go abroad, we always urge them to respect and follow the laws of that country, so that they can build a good and positive image for themselves, and through them, also project a good image of our country,” ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said.The Indian woman had spent several hours in the store of a famous chain on May 1. She allegedly picked up items worth $1,300 and then tried to leave the store without paying. Her video of a staff confronting her when caught had gone viral.“Are you allowed to steal things in India? I did not think so,” a woman police officer who is buzzing the woman is heard saying. According to the video, she’s facing felony charges, and although she hasn’t been arrested yet, charges are anticipated.
