The guards are then seen removing her clothes as members of the public gather around. She appears to be beaten and dragged outside the premises, where she is allegedly forced to walk while naked as some people record the incident using their mobile phones.
The disturbing footage has attracted strong reactions online, with many people condemning the alleged actions of the guards and questioning why the woman was subjected to such humiliation.
According to a report published by Us Daily Star alongside the video, the woman later died by suicide after reportedly struggling with the shame and humiliation caused by the incident and the circulation of the videos online.
However, the circumstances surrounding the reported death have not been independently verified, and it remains unclear whether the viral footage and the report refer to the same incident.
The identities of the woman and the security guards involved have also not been clearly established from the available information.
The incident has raised renewed concerns about mob justice, public humiliation and the dangers of sharing videos showing vulnerable people on social media.
While shoplifting is a crime that can be reported to authorities, members of the public and security personnel are expected to handle suspected offenders through lawful procedures rather than subjecting them to violence or public humiliation.
The video continues to circulate on social media, although its authenticity, location and the full circumstances surrounding the incident remain unclear.
