The method in which the media went to town on the kidnapping of the in-charge Atindranath Dutta of the police Sankrail being taken hostage by Naxalites to build up public sympathy and compel the administration to bow down to threats of Maoist rebels would have no parallel.

These are questions that the media should answer.
