JOHN: You take interview of others, today I want to take your interview.
JOURNALIST: I’m ready. I would love to be interviwed.
JOHN: I want to talk about mafia.
JOURNALIST: It is an intersting topic
JOHN: Our country have worked very hard on eliminating mafia. But it is still there,
though not as strong as it was before. What is your opinion?
JOURNALIST: Grip of mafia on our society is as strong as it was before. Instead of using guns mafia is entering in other fields. They are making more money with their brains now.
JOHN: In which field are they entering?
JOURNALIST: Previously, they believed more in gun-power and mostly they made money in bootlegging, prostitution, gambling, betting, robbery, and contract-killing. Now they have entered in construction and politics in a big way. They have also transformed piracy into a big industry. Now they can influence law-making and enforcement machinery more easily.
.
JOHN: It means they have become a bigger threat now.
JOURNALIST: Yes. Priviously it was easy to identify them and take action. But now it has become very difficult to start an anti- mafia drive.
JOHN: As a journalist what suggestion would you give?
JOURNALIST: In our block there is a famous builder. He has also become an M.P now. He seems a piller of honesty. He is a very polite man. But his real picture is quite black. He knows how to make money by using the system and the law. In fact, he is a tough mafia boss converted into a politician and businessman. You can not catch him. He makes or changes the law now. The only solution is to make anti-corruption law stronger.
JOHN: The task of eliminating mafia is almost impossible now.
JOURNALIST: Very difficult, if not impossible. If good politicians can join hands with good intellectuals and do something, the system will change. I mean hope is always there.

Inquiry of a Kidnapping Case by a Press Reporter
Press Reporter: Excuse me, I am press reporter of the DELHI NEWS. Did you witness the kidnapping case here that took place just a few minutes ago?
Meenakshi: Yes, we saw everything. I am still frightened.
Rohan: It seems like a horrible dream.
Press Reporter: Could you tell me about the incident in detail?
Rohan: Definitely. But please don’t disclose our identity.
Press Reporter: If you want we’ll never disclose. We are not the police (laughs).
Meenakshi: (Smiles). That’s the reason people have faith in the press, not in the police.
Press Reporter: At what time was the child kidnapped?
Rohan: At about 2 pm, just 20 minutes ago.
Press Reporter: What was the child doing here?
Meenakshi: He had just got down from Bal Bharati Public School bus.
Press Reporter: What would be the age of the child?
Meenakshi: About 10 years, I think.
Press Reporter: Can you tell me more about the child?
Meenakshi: He has fair complexion, curly hair and a slim body.
Press Reporter: Do you often take bus at this time?
Rohan: Yes. We read in an evening college and usually take 2 o’clock bus from here.
Press Reporter: You have got late today.
Rohan: We have been discussing about the kidnapping with other onlookers. We don’t intend to go to college today.
Press Reporter: Did the police find any clues?
Rohan: Yes, they found a cigarette butt that was thrown by one of the kidnappers.
Press Reporter: To which direction did the kidnappers flee away?
Meenakshi: They fled away towards Raja Garden.
Press Reporter: In which vehicle did they come? Did you note down the number?
Rohan: They came in a blue-coloured Maruti. The number is....
Press Reporter: It may be a stolen car. How many kidnappers were there in the car? Didn’t the public try to rescue the kid?
Rohan: There were four kidnappers. One of the kidnappers flashed a gun in the air so the people were frightened. Nobody was able to do anything.
Press Reporter: Did they belong to urban or rural area? You can have a guess if you heard any of them speaking.
Meenakshi: I think they belong to a rural area. And all of them were between the age group of 20 to 25.
Press Reporter: Can you tell about their outlook in detail?
Meenakshi: In such an atmosphere of scare we are often unable to observe all these things in details. Still I can tell you something more. One of them has short hair, dark skin and he was wearing black goggles. He was of medium height.
Rohan: And he is the kidnapper who came out of the car and lifted the kid up. He was wearing black jeans and black half-sleeve shirt.
Press Reporter: Why have those hoodlums kidnapped the child? Have you an idea?
Rohan: Probably it is for ransom because the kid belongs to a rich family. Generally a Honda City comes at the bus stop to pick up the kid.
Press Reporter: Yes, it may be. Let’s hope now that the child will be rescued by the police soon. You gave me valuable information. Thanking you very much for your nice co-operation.
Rohan: It’s all right.
Meenakshi: Yes, we saw everything. I am still frightened.
Rohan: It seems like a horrible dream.
