Missing person cases are very common these days especially after America-Afghanistan war since 2001. But recently a special case of same nature has been identified where a Saudi man who lost 39 years ago spotted in Pakistan. Due to low living standards and poor earning, a Saudi man left his home to get some work and feed his family. He told his mother and family that he is going out of the station to find a reasonable job and assured them that he will come back soon. Later in the search of job, he headed towards Arar which is a Saudi city near the border of Iraq. During his stay, there, he met a deadly accident which left him alive but took away his memory.
He kept on wandering here and there and after a long quest when he did not find a proper residence in Arar he left for Iraq by crossing the border. After a short stay, there, he headed towards Iran and ended up moving in Pakistan which is adjacent to the Iran border. Due to his different appearance and lack of legal documents of citizenship he was caught by authorities in Pakistan. Owing to the lost memory, he could not justify his origin and reason of his stay in Pakistan.
