North Korea embassy in Islamabad is most famous for being suppliers of quality imported liquor

The police need to be severely and visibly reprimanded for this incident. Creating diplomatic incidents are a serious matter which can lead to unintended consequences. Someone needs to be sacked for this to set the right precedent, because the police need to know their limits. I would hope the foreign minister personally conveys regret to the foreign minister of the DPRK on this matter.

BTW, isn’t the embassy inside the diplomatic enclave? Isn’t their a special police force for that area?

P.s. Is the North Korean leader looking slimmer? DPRK might be about to test ICBMs (possibly solid fueled) soon it is alleged, and he was pictured in a related facility or testing area. If people don’t think his health is an issue anymore, they can expect him to be in charge for decades to come, and maintaining decent enough relations with a nuclear power is in any country’s interest.

I doubt they violated Vienna convention without any proper reason. It is possible they were hiding something big.

Big bottle of Jack Daniels which the police wala's wanted for themselves.

No doubt about it. These police walas are probably dealers themselves. Although if the want a huge score then they should turn to Irani Embassy which is the biggest supplier of liquor to Pakistani Elites. They are biggest smugglers of Russian Vodka in exchange of $$$$.

Vienna convention does not cover any acts done under the intention of personal business under his personal choice.
More of a face saving measure done by sheikh sahib to not escalate it further.
1.A diplomatic agent shall enjoy immunity from the criminal jurisdiction of the receiving State.
He shall also enjoy immunity from its civil and administrative jurisdiction, except in the case of:
(a) A real action relating to private immovable property situated in the territory of the receiving State,
unless he holds it on behalf of the sending State for the purposes of the mission;
(b) An action relating to succession in which the diplomatic agent is involved as executor,
administrator, heir or legatee as a private person and not on behalf of the sending State;
(c) An action relating to any professional or commercial activity exercised by the diplomatic agent in
the receiving State outside his official functions.

We have a north korean embassy

If u remove police in Pakistan, crime will actually go down. Majority of the force is either illiterate, incompetent or corrupt.

This is a serious incident and will have implications.
