Today after reading the news of nabbing the criminals of Dr Ghosh murder by Patna Police, I am very happy. I want to congratulate the Bihar Police Department and specially the cops related in solving the case. This success proves that if police department wants to achieve its target, than it can surely do it.

The murder of Dr Ghosh was a sensation not only in Bihar but also all over the country. Even people abroad who were in touch with her at some time or other felt the pinch of her loss. Her murder was not only the loss of a teacher and renowned scholar but also a good human being. The pressure of finding the criminals must have been a lot on Patna police department. Unfortunately, our police department is not very popular with the people as far as crime and criminals are concerned. Solving cases in short time with proper planning can restore some confidence among the people.

But the story is not going to end with finding the criminals because all those caught are between the ages of 20 to 30. It shows the involvement of young generation in crime for quick money. The death of Dr Ghosh also throws light on the plight of people living alone. Thus the responsibility of the government is now more because not only it has to take care of the security of its people but also it has to generate income for the young generation so that they should be diverted from crime.

The news of the arrest of 4 young men in connection with the murder of Patna University Professor Papiya Ghosh and her live-in maid is most welcome. What is not clear, however, is the motive of the crime. The master brain behind the killings need to be uncovered and only then can the police claim credit for solving the crime. Since this killing has shaken the entire nation, we can only hope that the criminals will be tried and brought to justice. - Bahu Virupaksha - Dec. 18, 2006

We have got so used to denigrating Bihar Govt and its operations that we forget to acknowledge the good work done by them. It is heartening to note the success of Patna Police in solving this murder case. It is also noteworthy that police officials went about doing their job in a professional manner rather than make grandiose claims.

Kudos is also due to the political leadership for allowing the professional space to the police deptt to do their job. There was pressure to hand over the case to CBI, but they chose to back the local police who have indeed delivered the result. - T. V. Sinha - Dec. 19, 2006

Congratulations, but tell me why these cops don’t work with the same zeal and enthusiasm in all cases. There is no doubt that they have done an excellent job and deserve to be congratulated. But the real credit goes to media who highlighted the case to such an extent that even PM had to intervene. Credit is also due to PU teachers and all those who participated in token strike and brought this to the level where it became difficult for police to ignore. I wish Bihar Police show equal efficiency in cases relating to common people. - Anjum Parwej - Dec. 19, 2006
