Two Indian students, Bhavya Linganagunta and Yamini Valkalpudi, studying at Stevens Institute of Technology, were arrested for shoplifting at a New Jersey grocery store, US. They attempted to leave with $155.61 worth of unpaid items. Despite offering to pay and apologizing, they were detained by Hoboken police. Concerns arose about the impact on their H1B visa process. Police clarified the seriousness of the offense. The students were asked to refrain from returning to the store. This incident echoes a similar case in 2015 involving Indian women shoplifting razors in Tennessee.
