"We have to be very carefuleven with minute things. Ourmain challenge is to ensure thatthe victim is rescued safelywithout any injuries. We have toclosely monitor the actions ofthe kidnappers," a senior policeofficer said.
According to police, in suchcases it is difficult to take thevictims' family into confidence.
"It's often difficult to convincethe parents of the victims and takethem into confidence. Because inthe process, sometimes they tend
to lose faith," G Ram Gopal Naik,Deputy Commissioner of Police(crime) said.
In kidnapping cases, mediaplays an essential role by notleaking sensitive details pertain-ing to investigations as it mightultimately pose a threat to thevictim's life, police said.
"Even your single mistakecan pose a threat to the victim'slife. There are times when eveninvestigating officers tend tolose hope, but we we keeppatience and work with the hopethat the victim is still alive.There have been instances,
where the victim is killed within24 hours of kidnapping and theaccused make ransom callsclaiming the victim to be alive,"an investigative officer said.
In most of the cases theaccused are known to the victim.In a case where the five-year-oldboy was abducted, the kidnap-per was a customer of the vic-
tim's father. The accused wasaware about the financial statusof the victim's father.
