Udumula Sudhakar Reddy Around 40 kids below the age of 10 years are kidnapped every year in AP while over 180 teenage girls are kidnapped each year.
The tragic death of Vaishnavi, the nine-year-old daughter of a Vijayawada industrialist who was kidnapped on Saturday and subsequently killed by the abductors, has brought to focus the rising number of kidnap cases in the state. In fact, Andhra Pradesh tops the country in the number of abductions of teenaged girls according to the National Crime Records Bureau.
In cases of child abductions, only Delhi and Maharashtra are ahead of the state.
Most of the kidnappings are reported from the Hyderabad, Cyberabad and Vijayawada police commissionerate limits.
The State Crime Records Bureau statistics say that 4.7 per cent more kidnapping cases were reported in 2009 than in the year 2008.
Around 40 children below the age of 10 years are kidnapped every year in the state while over 180 teenage girls are kidnapped each year.
The number of kidnappings is higher in the 18 to 30 age group.
In Delhi, 262 kids below the age of 10 years are annually abducted and 166 teenage girls are picked up. A police officer said, "UP tops in the overall number of kidnapping cases. However, the trend of kidnapping children and teenage girls is more in Delhi, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh."
Many kidnap victims are forcefully put up for adoption or are made to beg on the streets. Others are kidnapped for ransom or revenge. Young girls are generally forced into marriages or pushed into the sex trade.
An intelligence official said, "Ali Bhai, who was involved in several kidnapping cases, is now in the jail.He is associated with the gang of mafia don Dawood Ibrahim."
It has been found that in most cases hired criminals from Guntur and Ongole districts are involved in the kidnappings.
"Seetanagram dacoits are now resorting to hired killings and such kidnappings," said an official.
