In the viral footage, the man repeatedly denies the allegation, insisting he is innocent. He challenges those accusing him to review and release the CCTV footage from the property where the alleged theft reportedly took place, maintaining that the footage would reveal what truly happened.
The incident has reignited concerns over mob justice, the violation of due process, and the dangers of punishing individuals before investigations are concluded. Many social media users have also questioned why the CCTV footage has not been made public if surveillance cameras were indeed operational.

Regardless of the allegation, every individual is entitled to a fair investigation and the opportunity to defend themselves in accordance with the law.
