Reality TV personality Kim Kardashian's bodyguard could be questioned by the police following her robbery in Paris.

The 35-year-old was robbed at gunpoint in Paris earlier this week when five armed, masked men stormed into her apartment, tied her up with plastic handcuffs and duct tape, and stole jewellery.

Now, police is reportedly gearing up to question her bodyguard Pascal Duvier after it was revealed he had declared bankruptcy in July with a debt of almost 1 million pounds, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

Duvier had jetted back to the US just hours after the robbery took place, after having been out at a club protecting Kim's sisters Kourtney, 37, and Kendall, 20.

According to police officials, Duvier is not a suspect over the theft, but they would like to bring him in for questioning.

"We will see where the investigation takes us," an official told The Sun newspaper.

However, the Kardashian family have stuck by their bodyguard since the raid. Kim's husband and rapper Kanye West will evaluate the situation to see if they should let Duvier continue or not.

"Pascal isn't irreplaceable. The family likes him but Kanye's evaluating his family's needs. He'll decide," a source said.

It was previously suggested that the robbery was likely an insider's job, and police are looking for suspects among those who knew of Kim's schedule.
