Indian woman's old interrogation video goes viral; court had cleared her of theft charges

An old bodycam video of an Indian woman sobbing and gasping while she was being interrogated by the cops at a Target store after being caught on suspicion of shoplifting surfaced and went viral. The incident had taken place in February this year and the woman was later cleared of theft charges by Kent Municipal Court in March. However, the bodycam footage is now going viral after a YouTube channel posted the entire video of the interrogation.The authenticity of the video is not verified, and the woman's identity is also not known. In the video, she could be seen choking and panting as the cops were told that she had been in this condition for the last 40 minutes and did not reveal any details. She was asked her primary language. "Gujarati," she said, fumbling. The cops asked where it was, and she said 'India'. She was asked whether she would need any interpreter, to which she said she wouldn't. The woman was also asked whether she had any medical issues, as she was hyperventilating.Read: Indian woman caught shoplifting: US embassy reacts after viral video; issues fresh visa warningThe woman revealed that she had a driver's license out of Washington.In the process of the interrogation, it was revealed that she was a serial shoplifter from that particular Target store, but that was the first time she was stopped. As the woman was facing the questioning, she was getting a call from a person whose identity was not revealed. "We are letting you go today," the cops said adding that she would be charged with trespassing if she returned to that Target store again. She was also told that she would have to appear in court in connection with the case.
