Folks

As we all watch with anxiety the unfortunate kidnapping of three year
old Anant, the son of the MD of Adobe India and pray for his early
return, we do expect the UP police to be making an effort to nab the
kidnappers. But what do we see the top police official of our western
neighbour do? Demonise Bihar for this most unfortunate incident.

Instead of workiong to solve the case or at the very least hang his head
in shame, Mr KL Gupta, the DGP of UP police is busy denigrating Bihar.

Just a couple of years ago, famous Kanadda actor Raj Kumar was kidnapped
in Karnataka. Why not associate the name of Karnataka with this
kidnapping. Again, the MD of EXIDE SB Ganguly, was kidnapped from
Chittaranjan Avenue, Calcutta in the none too recent past. So was the
daughter of a Marwari trader from Salt Lake City. Why not say similar
things about West Bengal?

It is particularly galling that this senior officer has chosen to
indulge in this highly irresponsible and provocative non sequitir at a
time when the govt of Bihar is trying it level best to improve the law
and order situation in very trying circumstances with very limited
resources. Let alone praise the effort of the Govt of Bihar, this crab
mentality person has chosen to hurl this unwarranted abuse. It is
typical of the roadside bullies to indulge in such tactics in the face
of pressure situation. It is really shameful to see an officer holding a
responsible and senior position to stoop to such tactics to feel better
(?) in the face of his utter failure to perform his duty.

Let us all raise our voice in protest of the grossly unjust statement.
