    Abducting is an excellent activity for the present. But the real consequences will be faced by the awful guys sooner or later.

    B'coz The almighty God always monitors such things and the sinner has to give his explation/penalty for all his awful liability, today or tomorrow.

    You might earn 25-30 Lacks, but you don know that, you are settings yourself to loose double the above amout and a screw to your happiness.

    Before you commint a mistake, be ready for the punishment which is set for us to bare..

    Hope he is fine and will reach his family safely..

    We do have the technology to identify the exact location of the culprit/victim and also the distance can be calculated based on the power levels recorded for each Mobile equipment. Now this has to be a coordinated effort between the District Police and the Divisional Engineer responsible for the Telecom District of Mangalore.

    In the developed countries (incl UAE), the database is accessed by the CID at their own premises within seconds. The data used in this case being BSIC - base station identity code, IMEI - International mobile eqipment identity and IMSI - International Mobile Subscriber Identities for this purpose.
    I hope our police dept. will make full use of the information technology and quickly turn into action. Jai Hind!

    We have a system called E911 in US, any Moile(Cellular) call can be traced to plus or minus 150 meters.

    Dont know if this system is currently availablethere in India, however for sure they can know caller is in which Mobile(Cellular) tower area, and which sector of antenna of that tower.

    If politicians dont interfere on behalf of kidnappers, this can be detected in few hours, if Mobile is on.

    Best thing to respond to kidnap/blackmail is not to succumb.

    Look luck Pereira Mamu.
