Rescuing stolen baby: Media, Rab set example

The recent baby stealing from DMCH has created much uproar among public. The media has covered the news with great enthusiasm and people were hoping for its rescue. Finally, after a week into the stealing, Rab members have rescued the baby. Along with the parents of the baby, the people of the country are relieved and happy. Expressing utter dismay over the incident at DMCH, the High Court on August 27 ordered a judicial inquiry into the entire incident relating to the stealing of the baby from the hospital on August 21. The parents of the twins expressed their gratitude to the media. The baby's father said he want one of his sons to be a journalist and another a Rab member in the future.

This incident proves that the media can play a very important role in making our society a better place. It also proves that the law enforcement agencies can be people-friendly if they are willing. Thanks to the media and the Rab members for their effort. Now we want to see stringent punishment to the perpetrators.
