But in the absence of witnesses coming forward, investigations are very difficult.<BR/>Also in Bombay in the Bandra east quarter there has been a rash of kidnappings of school children (16 in two months), a real cause for worry.

But then again, most things in India are purchasable at some price anyways. <BR/><BR/>As far as media's role, well the media got involved in Jessica Lal case because it was a good thing news wise.
