Frightened parents escorted their wards to schools following
kidnapping of a student in Patna. Unidentified persons kidnapped Shresht Sanjay,
a standard one student at Christ church school in Kankarbagh area at gunpoint
on Monday. The kidnappers have not made any ransom demand as yet. The police were
interrogating the driver of an auto-rickshaw, which was used by Shresht, for further
investigations. Parents said that they felt unsafe after the kidnapping incident.
"We are feeling unsafe, if this type of incident happened in the main centre of
the town then it is obviously it increases our woes. What our police and administration
are doing. If the incident took place where all major offices like district magistrate's
office is situated then it is really a serious issue," said Om Prakash, a parent.
Parents urged the administration to take steps to stop the recurrence of such
incidents. "We want that the government and administraton must take essential
measures to ensure safety of our wards...we want they must ensure the security
of those school kids who commute in auto and other vehicles," said Amitabh Kumar,
another parent.
