As I looked up to see if there was anything wrong, the staff member said there was a camera in the room," the woman stated in her complaint."I asked the shopowner and other staff members in the shop that if there is a camera here in the room then why was directed to go to that room, but no one replied. When I called the police the shopowner called his son and deleted the video," she stated in her complaint.According to police sources, it seems a case of human error as the woman attendant mistakenly sent the woman to try clothes in a storeroom."We have collected the CCTV footage of the shop and are verifying the woman's claim.
