The flight attends finally got the man seated anyway. Irony is that a man who can buy a ticket for a flight with about 3000 Qatari rial, that is Rs. 55,875 roughly converted into Indian currency, was begging for money. People thought either he was illegally travelling or mentally ill. Now here are the facts.

As confirmed by a Pakistani bureaucrat, the begging man is an Iranian and has paid his flight. However, he deported without any money which is why he had to beg the passengers. So he is no Pakistani and no mentally ill, he was just a poorly rich man probably forgot his wallet and yet ended up famous. That is the power of social media.
