During July 2013, he went abroad on a business trip and was utilizing the international roaming facility provided by Herring Sky. While on the trip, he found out that his cellular service had been terminated. He contacted the customer services to inquire about the reason and was informed that his account services had been suspended because he had a liability of Rs. 55,000/-, which far exceeded his credit limit of Rs. 15,000/-.
Due to suspension of cellular service, Asad claimed that his clients were unable to contact him and made him accountable as to why he was unreachable while abroad, when he was sent for a specific purpose. They questioned his level of professionalism and even his motives for going abroad.
