The video, which is now being shared by many, shows the family getting busted for stealing accessories from the hotel. In the video, the hotel staff members are seen rifling through the family’s luggage and discovering some stolen item in almost every baggage. It includes things like mirror, hanger, artifacts, soap dispenser, and hairdryer.

The conversation heard in the video indicates that the Indian family had failed to impress the hotel staff with their behaviour earlier. And, their manner changed when they got busted. At one point, in the clip, a woman is even heard requesting the hotel management to not call the police and offers to pay for the items they stole.
