Press Reporter: Excuse me, I am press reporter of the DELHI NEWS. Did you witness the kidnapping case here that took place just a few minutes ago?
Meenakshi: Yes, we saw everything. I am still frightened.
Rohan: It seems like a horrible dream.
Press Reporter: Could you tell me about the incident in detail?
Rohan: Definitely. But please don?t disclose our identity.
Press Reporter: If you want we?ll never disclose. We are not the police (laughs).
Meenakshi: (Smiles). That?s the reason people have faith in the press, not in the police.
Press Reporter: At what time was the child kidnapped?
Rohan: At about 2 pm, just 20 minutes ago.
Press Reporter: What was the child doing here?
Meenakshi: He had just got down from Bal Bharati Public School bus.
Press Reporter: What would be the age of the child?
Meenakshi: About 10 years, I think.
Press Reporter: Can you tell me more about the child?
Meenakshi: He has fair complexion, curly hair and a slim body.
Press Reporter: Do you often take bus at this time?
Rohan: Yes. We read in an evening college and usually take 2 o?clock bus from here.
Press Reporter: You have got late today.
Rohan: We have been discussing about the kidnapping with other onlookers. We don?t intend to go to college today.
Press Reporter: Did the police find any clues?
Rohan: Yes, they found a cigarette butt that was thrown by one of the kidnappers.
Press Reporter: To which direction did the kidnappers flee away?
Meenakshi: They fled away towards Raja Garden.
Press Reporter: In which vehicle did they come? Did you note down the number?
Rohan: They came in a blue-coloured Maruti. The number is....
Press Reporter: It may be a stolen car. How many kidnappers were there in the car? Didn?t the public try to rescue the kid?
Rohan: There were four kidnappers. One of the kidnappers flashed a gun in the air so the people were frightened. Nobody was able to do anything.
Press Reporter: Did they belong to urban or rural area? You can have a guess if you heard any of them speaking.
Meenakshi: I think they belong to a rural area. And all of them were between the age group of 20 to 25.
Press Reporter: Can you tell about their outlook in detail?
Meenakshi: In such an atmosphere of scare we are often unable to observe all these things in details. Still I can tell you something more. One of them has short hair, dark skin and he was wearing black goggles. He was of medium height.
Rohan: And he is the kidnapper who came out of the car and lifted the kid up. He was wearing black jeans and black half-sleeve shirt.
Press Reporter: Why have those hoodlums kidnapped the child? Have you an idea?
Rohan: Probably it is for ransom because the kid belongs to a rich family. Generally a Honda City comes at the bus stop to pick up the kid.
Press Reporter: Yes, it may be. Let?s hope now that the child will be rescued by the police soon. You gave me valuable information. Thanking you very much for your nice co-operation.
Rohan: It?s all right.
