While travelling to Rio for pre-olympics, the passport of Gabriel Ballmen, the coach of famous Indian shooter Abhinav Bindra, got stolen in Cologne. Immediately, Abhinav sought the help of Minister Of External Affairs, Sushma Swaraj in this regard on Twitter. As soon as he sought help, not only her, but even Gurjit Singh, the Indian Ambassador to Germany contacted him for the same.
See the tweet shot by Abhinav Bindra to seek help!
