However, a further search revealed that the incident turned out to be different from the CCTV footage taken there, and on December 8, news websites, including the Daily Pakistan and Tribune, reported that the women who had entered the shop had stolen and stripped themselves.
In the CCTV footage recorded inside the shop, one of the four women entering the shop goes inside, one of them takes an item from the shop and hides it in her dress after which the shop owner runs and tries to close the door. But, after the women came out, the owner beats them to capture them. Two women ran away from there and so the owner caught the other two women.
