I think news channels are only concerned with crimes in Noida, Delhi and mumbai, Rest of india is like small ants and insects even if large number of people dead like hooch in Karnataka ware 100 people died in single night it wont make a big issue and if some minor girl is killed in noida then you will see the news in all channels for 3-6 months.

because this is a case of death involving a child from rich doctor's family. that's why media is giving more importance to this case. had it been a case of a girl being killed in some slum of india media would not have bothered. does media is biased towards the poor of this nation. this requires serious thinking.

Looks like media gives importance to the rich and influential. Crimes of similar nature have taken place in this country for long. Only a few are projected as important, because they are rich and influential. They are indirectly telling that the life of poor and non influential people are less worthy than a rich person. Otherwise headlines will not call it only as Arushi's case. Poor Hemaraj' death is not considered serious at all. Every person irrespective of economic and social background should get justice. The questions these news channels ask are also biased - they ask 'do you think Arushi will get justice'? This bias and non sense should stop.
