Police officers were heard telling her that she had committed a felony. News18 could not independently verify the claims made in the video. The woman pleaded with the police officers, saying she had not done anything and was even willing to pay for the items she allegedly stole, but the police officers refused to budge. According to the description of the video, police were called to Target on May 1 after the woman 'spent hours inside the store stealing items, ultimately attempting to walk out with thousands of dollars in unpaid merchandise." The woman apologised to the police officers and offered to pay for the items. 'I am really sorry to bother you if it is. I am not from this country. I am not going to stay here." The woman police officer interrogating the woman replied, 'Are you allowed to steal things in India? I did not think so." The alleged shoplifter then argued that she could not run with so many items and repeatedly offered to pay for them. A Target employee told the officers that the woman spent seven hours inside the store before trying to walk out the door with a cart filled with items, but she was apprehended soon afterwards. After reviewing the store bill totalling over $1,300 (Rs 1.08 lakh), the woman was seen being taken to the police station for processing, indicating that she has been charged with a felony. A woman police officer said she deliberately passed all the payout kiosks and took the cart full of items out of the store. The woman's actions were met with criticism online.

'How is it even logistically possible for someone to spend 7 consecutive hours in one store? Do you just walk around in circles? I'm ready to be out by the 30 minute mark," another person wrote. 'Anyone who spends 7 hours in a store, and doesn't work there, is up to no good," another user commented. view comments First Published: July 15, 2025, 21:16 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

'Islam Has Another Law': Influential Cleric Steps In To Help Defer Nimisha Priya's Execution
Last Updated: The efforts to save the Indian nurse on death row in Yemen were made under the leadership of a Sufi scholar at the behest of Sunni Muslim leader Kanthapuram AP Aboobacker Musliyar Influential Sunni Muslim leader Kanthapuram AP Aboobacker Musliyar stepped in at the last minute to facilitate the postponement of the execution of Indian nurse, Nimisha Priya, in Yemen on July 16. The efforts to save Nimisha Priya, who is on death row for murdering her business partner Talal Abdo Mahdi in 2017, were made under the leadership of a Sufi scholar there at the behest of Musliyar, sources said. The 94-year-old Musliyar, who is officially known as Sheikh Abubakr Ahmad, holds the title of Grand Mufti of India. He held talks with religious authorities in Yemen, who are in contact with Mahdi's family. Musliyar told news agency ANI that there is a law in Islam, which allows the victim's family to pardon the murderer. He said while he does not know the victim's family, he contacted Yemeni scholars and urged them to talk to the family. 'Islam has another law. If the murderer is sentenced to death, the family of the victim has the right to pardon. I don't know who this family is, but from a long distance, I contacted the responsible scholars in Yemen. I made them understand the issues. Islam is a religion that places a lot of importance on humanity," Musliyar was quoted. Under shariah law, as applied in Yemen, blood money is a legally recognised financial compensation paid to the family of a person who has been killed. It is a legally sanctioned alternative to capital punishment in Islamic jurisprudence. Nimisha Priya, hailing from Palakkad district, was sentenced to death in 2020, and her final appeal was rejected in 2023. She is currently imprisoned in a jail in Yemeni capital Sanaa.
