American teacher pick-pocketed

A few days ago, an American university professor of agri. economics (currently teaching at a private institution in Bangladesh as a volunteer) was pick-pocketed on a street of our metropolis. All his possessions including passport and credit card were taken away. Meanwhile, he filed an FIR and reported the incident to the American Embassy, Dhaka. The embassy reportedly is processing his passport and other documents as he had photocopies of his travel papers. As he came to Bangladesh as a volunteer, his Bangladeshi visa was only for stay prohibiting any paid or unpaid employment. Finding no financial help within his vicinity, he entered our campus as ours is an agricultural university. Some of our students brought him to my office, but unfortunately, I was on leave that day. Anyway, he again came to my office the next day and I tried to help him out. Indeed, it was a very sad and shameful incident, and obviously, has ruined our image.
