MEDAN - Suspected of stealing, a woman is paraded by a number of traders around a market center in Medan City, North Sumatra. This incident was recorded and shared on social media.

The woman was seen wearing a red T-shirt and shorts with a black and green release motif. Around his neck was a piece of paper that said 'I am a thief'.

"Don't cry, don't cry, when you succeed (steal) don't cry," said a man through a loudspeaker.

While being paraded, the woman continued to cry and defend herself. He said he never took the thing he was accused of.

"You don't need to cry, you're getting tired," said another man.

Some of the men who were allegedly interrogating her kept on forcing the woman to confess her actions

"Just tell me, admit it, what did you take? What did you take? You said," said the man.

"I took the bag, my mistake," said the woman.

The statement of the woman who was accused of stealing the bag was immediately snapped by a man in a white shirt while bluffing

"Don't tell me you made a mistake. Just say that I was a thief, already," said the man in the white shirt in a high tone.

After 'forcing' the woman to admit her actions, she is then paraded around while continuing to say 'I am a thief' while being surrounded by residents.

Separately, the Managing Director of PD Pasar Kota Medan, Suwarno, confirmed the incident when it was confirmed. Suwarno said that currently the matter has been handled by the authorities.

"Based on the information I received from the market head regarding the video, the field report has been submitted to the Medan City Police. For further details, please confirm with the Medan City Police," Suwarno told VOI, Monday, November 8.
