America’s multinational company Walmart will have to pay Rs 15 crore as compensation to the woman, the court decreed
Imagine how it would be if a person is first accused of theft and then the person who accuses him gives a lot of money to that person! A strange-looking case has come to light from America, where the multinational company Walmart was ordered to pay Rs 15 crore as damages to an American woman.
According to the ‘New York Post’ in 2016, a woman Leslie went shopping at Walmart. After shopping, as soon as Leslie started going out with the goods, the employees there stopped her, accusing her of theft. The employee had accused the woman of stealing goods and exiting the store. The charge was of theft of goods worth about $48 or about Rs 3,600. After this, the woman filed a case against the company in the court. Now the decision of this case came in his favor and the court ordered Walmart to pay damages.
The woman told the court that she was accused of theft but the woman said that she paid her money by buying Rs 3,600 but still she was arrested. Not only this, later there were threats to register a case against him. Notices were sent to him on behalf of a law firm. Finally fed up, in 2018 Leslie also filed a lawsuit against Walmart.
Let us tell you that while hearing this case, the local court ruled in favor of Leslie. In which Walmart was ordered to pay $ 2.1 million or more than Rs 15 crore in damages. Now it is being speculated that Walmart will challenge it in the upper court.
