Its strange that NCW and media are backing the case be cause she was amodel waht happens to miliions of other needy people on street of India who need help. No one notices, but the media has come to her rescue, why? It show the inherent bias that we have in our mindset.XWMQQ

This media gets lot of money from only rich people not from poor and needy. This is the reason for giving more publicity for a rich guy.
I think it is shameful that media persons would hound her - and thank you for not using their pictures. No doubt - it is an interesting human story but even people in difficult times deserve the dignity. If it were in my hands,I would print the pictures of vultures (media photographers, etc) and ashame them by writing their stories how they went down to low levels for earning money!

I agree. Disregard of dinity of a person by the media was shocking.
Here is where all health care system's fail. Treating chronically ill patients especially mental patients. The only way to treat this problem is by family support.
