A shocking case of theft has surfaced from Uttar Pradesh’s Jhansi, where a woman was caught on CCTV stealing cash from the counter of a mobile phone shop.

The video shows a small mobile shop with phones and accessories displayed on the counter. The shop owner is seated behind it as the woman casually approaches, engages him in conversation and appears to browse through various phones.

While the shop owner remains focused on showing and explaining products, the woman subtly reaches toward an open cash drawer on the counter. With a quick and discreet movement, she picks up a bundle of cash and slips it into her clothing or bag without interrupting the conversation. She then continues acting like a genuine customer before calmly leaving the shop. The entire act was clearly captured on the overhead CCTV camera, revealing a calculated distraction tactic.
