A video of an Indian family being humiliated by staff for allegedly stealing virtually everything from a hotel room they were lodging in Bali, Indonesia, has gone viral, indeed leaving a black mark for the Indians who are visiting foreign countries for various reasons.

The 2 minute-long video shows hotel staff scanning the luggage of the guests and removing accessories from them.

According to the clip, the family was allegedly stopped by the hotel staff after they suspected them of stealing things from the room. After rummaging through their luggage, the staff allegedly recovered items such as hangers, electronics, towel, and decoratives.

“Why do Indians do this I just can’t understand. One should maintain a certain kind of dignity and class ..What is this,” read the tweet, which has received over 90 thousand likes.

Was shocked but not surprised to see the Indian tourist theft video. Having interned at a hotel briefly, and then with lots of friends in the hospitality business, I'm privy to some pretty bizzare stuff. And then when you travel a lot and make friends with hotel folks- more so

Why do Indians do such things (we are known all over the world for such actions). What is it in our social fabric and upbringing that makes us normalise cheating in everyday life? Clearly, we all know that stealing from hotel room in rampant in India. https://t.co/pQlShSk67P
