This is not just a theft... This is a crime against the whole nation. He has totally damaged the reputation of Pakistanis abroad. Even Pakistani labourers and taxi drivers in the GCC countries have a reputation of honesty. This man has shamed us all. Deserves severe punishment.

Personality disorder, surely. How many of such sick people move around us living in an unreal world of their own minds? It's our normality...

Chopping hands off may deter this.

The investigation has revealed that he stole for installing a tracking chip. He has been working for another country. The aim was to spy on them and he has been doing this for quite some time but got caught this time Ahamdulillah and now it is a lot more serious offence.

Yahoodis are bribing Momin to spy on fellow Momin. This is a grave conspiracy.

Sadly (for Pakistan) nobody around the world has fallen for this uber transparent face saving conspiracy story.

That's none of anyone's business. It is an individual act and that person has been arrested and investigate...unlike bhindus, we don't reward rapists and murders and elect them to PM house...so STFU..

Don't please talk like a kid here. We try to make it a serious forum.

A chindichor stealing in an international meeting is EVERYBODY's business.

Cause the Chor could have stolen from any nation represented there.

It's not about the money.

Got to feel for the guy and his family.

He's on national television, stealing, heard he's is an Administrative Service officer, the higher you are, the harder the impact when you fall.

It was not international at all but a bilateral meeting between two brotherly countries ... and the thief/agent got caught and we openly declared the news..
Not a hush-hush cover-up as you guys do about the wife-swapping culture rampant in your armed forces..especially navy.

It may surprise you but there's an actual world outside India or have you contacted all the Capitals around the world to find out the reaction.
Diplomats don't exactly leave a gathering in protest over a missing wallet, the Kuwaitis seem to know the score.
