Hyderabad: The crime in Hyderbad after the bifurcation is on steady rise. Even with the tightened security and new patrols. The twin cities witnessed a massive increase in abduction cases this year.

The stats show that around, 356 cases of kidnapping were reported this year against 130 in 2013. Although senior police officials say that the jump is due to the registration of missing children as kidnaps, cases like the kidnap of the Musheerabad infant from a maternity hospital still remain a mystery.

Adding to the misery, the Gangs of women criminals who target school kids for ornaments are also on the prowl for kidnapping children.

“As per the SC ruling cases of missing cases have to be registered as kidnap cases. This could be a reason for the rise in cases,” said police commissioner Mahender Reddy.

However, experts say that there is a 173 per cent rise in kidnap cases and that the claims of the police are not believable. In 2013 also, the police used to book the missing cases of children as kidnap. In 2012 only 93 cases were registered.
