A high-profile Indian banker in London was suspended by Citigroup after he was accused of stealing food from the office canteen.

Paras Shah, who was apparently earning a handsome seven-digit salary (in British pounds), was suspended after he stole food from the canteen at Citibank's European headquarters in Canary Wharf, London. In Indian currency, Shah took home almost Rs 9.2 crore per year.

According to Financial Times, 31-year-old Shah abruptly left his post last month as Citi's head of high-yield bond trading for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, after being accused of food theft.

Shah was one of the highest-profile credit traders in Europe. "He was a well-liked and successful trader," his two former colleagues were quoted as saying by the daily. Paras Shah had joined Citigroup in 2017 after working for seven years with HSBC. His suspension came weeks before Citigroup was due to pay bonuses to their senior staff.

There is no clarity on how many times Shah stole food from the canteen.

Shah, when contacted by the media, directed all questions to Citigroup. The group, meanwhile, declined to comment on the matter.

Buhaha

 

[CIA Mole]

they justed wanted to get rid of him for always asking bob and vagene

 

[Windjammer]

This news was being discussed on many British TV Channels with utter disbelief......The guy was earning over One Million Pound salary....some anchors were having a shot at him that instead of bonuses, he should have demanded a years free supply of Lunch.

 

[Fawad alam]

Good

 

[Flight of falcon]

I heard about him on BBC and anchor was saying they have no sympathy for this guy .... so sad

 

[Death Professor]

Well he probably thought free lynch in India is ok, so free lunch might be ok there....

 

[313ghazi]

How strange. He's clearly a talented man to be earning that figure, at that young age.

But to do something petty like this! LOL

 

[Green Arrow]

Oh man Hard to believe that but it is quite true. As a former Citi bank employee I came to know this from internal sources as well.

 

[Dalit]

He threw it all away for canteen food.

Stealing food , bruh ? . You high or somethin

 

[Dalit]

HE is 'suspended'. Nobody is that stupid to expel a good quality trader over some petty issue.

LOL it is out in the open. His reputation is damaged. How much trading is he going to do?

If I was him, I would open a canteen and start selling all the food stock he stole.

Haha , yar tu kahan say dhond kar lata hai but jo bhi lata hai classical hota hai .. what a cheap bastard

 

[Jinn Baba]

Probably some form of kleptomaniac. With that salary it's not like he needed to steal to feed himself.

Only other reason I can think is if the till was closed and the guy was starving and may be helped himself to some chocolates/crisps.

Or...hes Gujrati, and no matter what he earns, it's in his genes to be stingy

 

[Valar.]

kleptomania - a recurrent urge to steal, typically without regard for need or profit.
