On January 23, 2012 Ahmedabad Mirror reported that after initial reluctance, Vatva police finally registered a case against Murli and Raju for child trafficking late on Saturday, in Madhavan Nayyakkar’ case. Commissioner of Police S K Saikia has ordered Crime Branch and its Human Trafficking Cell to conduct a parallel inquiry into the case. The police action came three days after Mirror’s January 19 report that eight-year-old Madhavan, who was found unconscious outside a temple near Ghodasar on January 12, was a victim of child trafficking. While the law-abiding cops were busy following the procedure during the three days, the offenders used the time for an easy escape.
