Soon, he came to know that the person in the video is Abdul Ghafoor. He is working as a delivery agent with Talabat in Dubai. Talabat is an online food ordering company which is operating in the UAE. The Prince also posted on Twitter that, he will be meeting Abdul Ghafoor soon. Not only did he post the image of the rider on Twitter but also on his personal Instagram profile.
