The Indian family is seen apologizing constantly after they were caught. We also here a woman saying ‘Please don’t call the cops’ and that they are very sorry and they can charge for all the items that were taken from the hotel room. The outraged manager and staff strictly asked them not to yell and talk properly. The hotel manager said, ‘ I know you have a lot of money, this is no respect.’

I understand this happened in #Bali. Having lived in Indonesia & visited Bali, I can personally vouch for Indonesians being the gentlest, most respectful people I have met. They hold India & Indians in very high esteem & its gut-wrenching to see us in such a compromised position.
