The store owners who were shown attacking the woman said that she had taken the phone from their establishment, even though it was unclear how she had obtained it in the first place.
The woman apparently went back to the same location to get a new phone pouch before her good fortune ran out and she was apprehended.
In the video shared online, the woman is shown getting physically assaulted while being questioned.
This stirred a range of reactions from netizens, who opined that the police should have been called to intervene instead.
