The incident was captured on the store’s CCTV. And, the recording has gone viral after being shared on social media. Many are now sharing the video across different platforms. Just like this Twitter user who posted the video along with a Hindi caption. When translated, it reads, “ For whom would this rat have taken the diamond necklace.”
The video shows the inside of the shop where a necklace is displayed on a shelf. Within moments, a rat peeks from the roof near the shelf. For some time it pauses, as if to find the best route to take the necklace. The rodent then slowly lowers itself onto the self, takes the necklace, and goes back to its hiding.
Take a look at the video:
