Kishalay Gupta, a 14-year old class eleven student of Delhi Public School in Patna was kidnapped on Wednesday from Patel Nager area of Patna. He was kidnapped while he was going to the bus stop from his residence. "Everything has changed. When we leave, our mothers say be careful, come back early. There is no freedom," said Kajal, a student. Some students have plans to go on a relay hunger strike also, if Kishalay is not found. Prayers were also organised by students Sunday for the safety of Kishalay. But amidst this turmoil, the Patna administration doesn't have any idea about 'who, where and why' dimensions of this case.
