A rather "embarrassing" video of a group of Indian tourists "stealing accessories" from a hotel in Indonesia's Bali has gone viral on social media. In the 2.20 minute clip, a man, who appears to be from the Bali hotel, is seen scanning the baggage of an Indian family while they were on their way out of the resort.


At first, members of the Indian family are seen arguing with the hotel staff. But that didn't stop the man from opening every suitcase and taking out things that were stolen from their room - such as towels, electronics, decorative pieces and other stuff. "We are really very sorry. This is a family tour. We will pay you. Please let us go because we have to catch our flight," one of the women is seen telling the man.

Other security officials are also seen frisking their baggage in the video. "I will pay," one of the family members exclaimed but the man from the hotel refused to take money: "I know you have a lot of money but this is no respect."

The video has been posted online by a user called Hemanth, who said in the caption, "Such an embarrassment for India. Each of us carrying an #IndianPassport must remember that we are ambassadors of the nation and behave accordingly. India must start cancelling passports of people who erode our credibility."

Indian news agency/papers are completely against these people and seem terribly embarrassed with calls for this family to be imprisoned, shamed on WA/FB, have their passports confiscated and even imprisoned.

I looked at the clip on YouTube and in the comments section underneath a guy said that he knew the the man shown with his arms folded at very end of the clip and that he lives in Melbourne and owns 6 or 7 service stations? I don’t think I’d buy my fuel there and most certainly wouldn’t get my car serviced if that is how he rips off hotels when on holiday. Goodness knows how his customer fare.
