Amidst allegations of gold smuggling, the only female diplomat at Afghanistan’s diplomatic mission in India has resigned. This occurred after she took over the post before the Taliban seized power. According to Indian media, she was not arrested due to diplomatic immunity. The female diplomat, Zakia Vardak, attempted to import 25 bricks of gold from Dubai to India.
In a statement issued by the Consul General of Afghanistan in Mumbai, Zakia neither confirmed nor denied the allegations but expressed regret at the attacks she faced as the only woman in the Afghan diplomatic apparatus. Despite this, there are several unrelated links and profiles listed after her resignation that seem disconnected from the main content about her gold smuggling allegations.
The links range from information about personal profiles and alumni associations to online gambling platforms and model-building magazines. Some of these links lead to articles or profiles on various websites and platforms, showcasing a diverse range of topics covered in their content.
Overall, it is clear that despite her resignation and attempts to avoid any negative publicity surrounding her alleged gold smuggling activities, Zakia Vardak still faces criticism and scrutiny from both Indian media and other sources.
