Pakistani Boxer Steals Teammate’s Money & Disappears in Italy

A Pakistani boxer Zohaib Rasheed absconded in Italy after stealing money from a female teammate’s bag.

According to the Pakistan Amateur Boxing Federation, Rasheed was in Italy to take part in an Olympic qualifying tournament. The federation has informed the Pakistan Embassy in Italy about it and also filed a police report about the incident.

“It is most embarrassing for the federation and country the way Zohaib Rasheed has behaved as he had gone there as part of a five-member squad to take part in an Olympic qualifying tournament,” the national federation’s secretary, Colonel Nasir Ahmed said.

Rasheed won a bronze medal in last year’s Asian Boxing Championships.

As per reports, Rasheed stole foreign currency from the bag of a female boxer Laura Ikram’s purse before disappearing from the hotel.
