Ghaziabad, a district and an industrial town by the side of National Capital Delhi, is buzzing with hyperactivity day in and day out to meet production targets. But elsewhere in the villages of this district, unknown child abductors are targeting the children. Yet the law keepers are relaxed and probably doing nothing.
Jagratan Arya of Vijaynagar village remembers that his son Harinder vanished, never to return, when Jagratan sent him to buy tomatoes nearby. So is the case of Himanshu. He was playing in front of the family run PCO and suddenly disappeared says his father Purushottam, a home guard.
In the lanes of this and other villages, some families struggle to cope with their losses while the others living with the chilling thought that next it could be their turn. Nithari, a village 15km away is fresh on every body’s mind where children kept vanishing till one day in Dec’06 large numbers of skeletons of children were fished out from a drain.
As was in Nithari, police are pretty relaxed, refuse to help and even refuse to accept that there is a problem. Satish, whose two daughters disappeared together on May’5 this year says “when I went to police, they threatened me and drove me away.
Yet according to police themselves some 300 children went missing since Jan’07. With the failure of law keepers to unearth any leads, the guardian’s apprehensions are wild: abduction for use in child explicit CD’s, organ racket or to syringe out blood for sale.
