French envoy Theirry Mathou and his wife were Diwali shopping by Chandni Chowk in New Delhi on October 20, 2024. The ambassador later found out his phone was missing from the pocket. The phone went missing between 3:15 and 3:30 pm when the couple were visiting the Jain temple. An FIR was immediately lodged at the Kotwali police station. The cops formed a team and probed every available CCTV footage of the area. Four suspects were arrested, and the mobile phone was recovered two days later.

Reactions poured in with netizens saluting the thieves for not really differentiating between a diplomat and a common man. Others slammed the cops for being nonchalant when a commoner lodges a missing phone complaint. Dear Delhi Police What can a tax-paying commoner do to avail such “express thief-catching services?” a user asked. Another user jibed, “Police capable of finding mobile thieves? That’s a new!” “Agar mango people hota toh FIR tak nahi likhte hai bhai shrap hai is desh mein gareeb hona,” another netizen took a dig at the cops for neglecting the plight of commoners, stating that its a curse to be underprivileged and born poor in India. Indeed!
Indian talent doesn’t differentiate between a diplomate and a common man. Just like the Sun gives it warmth and light without any discrimination!

@DelhiPolice what can the common man, who also happens to be the taxpayer funding your salaries do to get such express thief-catching services?
