False Claim: Viral video misidentifying a Filipina Nurse as an Indian Hindu - dfrac.org
A video circulating online shows a woman leaving a supermarket, where security guards stop her at the exit. Later, she appears to be interrogated. The accompanying viral claim alleges that the woman is an “Indian Hindu nurse” who was caught stealing from a Target store in the USA.
Multiple users have shared this claim, as seen here and here.
Fact Check
Our investigation found the claim to be misleading. The video was originally posted on the blog site The Daily Netizen, which reported that a Filipina nurse was caught on camera allegedly shoplifting over $300 worth of merchandise from a store in the United States. CCTV footage shows her casually browsing before discreetly concealing several items.
We also found the same video on a YouTube channel called Bodycam Edition, titled “Entitled Nurse Caught Red-Handed Stealing HUNDREDS from Target Before Work,” which likewise indicated that she was from the Philippines, not India.
Thus, our fact-check confirms that the claim is false. The woman in the viral video is not an Indian Hindu nurse, but a Filipina nurse involved in a shoplifting incident in the US.
