I don't know whether that man was trying to hijack the plane or not but it is very disturbing to know that no one knows where is he. oh my god... i can not believe this. dear cops please ring a phone bell to that man's home and for god sake let his parents know whether he is behind the bars or freed or killed in a false encounter. all of us are human and please behave like human. the person may try to hijack the plane but what is the fault of those old persons who are weeping for him. come on do something.

People need to take responsibility for their actions. I am sure everybody in the world, including the terrorists, crooks etc have some kind of stories that might reflect their "vulnerabilty" in these kinds of situations but are we going to go to their mothers and publish stories that condone these kinds of terror acts?

That is really sad. Why would they think that their son was in that flight? Did they check with airlines for his name? How can he do any kind of crime if he is sick and physically weak. I don't think he can do such kind of crime. Raghavendra Paturi

Respected mataji, I wholeheartedly pray to the almighty to bless your beloved son.Whatever has happened is nothing but an act due to sheer frustration. Do not be scared. your son will be well. BD Chatterjee.

The article is really touching. It is necessary to investigate thoroughly but at the same time can't the investigation officials show humanitarian gesture? Narayan Rao Deshpande

I feel our police should be changed they know to only accept bribes and catch the wrong people and enjoy the company of criminals. Our Police in India are total corrupt with no morals and no principles. My heart goes out to that family and that young man who is caught and is flogged for no fault of his. Miriam

It's a heart-breaking story. I guess, being a powerful media, rediff should help in finding the troubled son for his mother. I'm sure rediff can access the right authorities to find out more about his whereabouts. People will really appreciate such a responsible action from rediff and it will also raise rediff's image in people's eyes by a great deal. Keep up the good work. Abhijit Vekhande
Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2002 19:35:13 +0530 Subject: Unnecessary delay
I am sincerely feel sorry for the agony of the parents. its not necessary for keeping for such a long time incomunicando with a person let us make request to p.m for intervening in this matter to know the facts and give at least the message to the parents so that he can help the authorities in telling the facts. Maybe god will help the parents and an early comunication will be possible. Prabhakar
Date: Sun, 22 Sep 2002 00:16:51 +1200 Subject: Grant her wish
In my opinion, the mother has the right to know where her son is kept custody, cause Sasiraj was arrested at the place of disembarkment and messages have been flying between destination and Hyderabad for details and obtaining information about Sasiraj, so I positively feel the mother must be granted her wish or she be assisted to meet him at the place of detention with the arrangement of the foreign affairs ministry.

if the incident is true, then proper enquiry is required. the kind of disease this person was having, he was basically half mad. so proper investigation is required. Arindam

Dear Mother, I saw your letter and sorry to hear about your son, mother knows sons feeling but do son knows mothers feelings,when you send your son overseas for futher education you didn't know what happen during the years he was there,who are his friends and where was he staying. True enough to say that you know about your son but,do you know what he was involved in. Mother you said he is a quiet person and he wouldn't talk much, thats dangerous if he's very quiet. Doraisingam Chelliah
Date: 21 Sep 2002 11:17:52 -0000 Subject: Details, please
It is a pity that such a thing has happened. It is very heart warming to know these details, but why can't somebody help her, in fact when rediff was able to get this details, you should also try and get more details about this person. Naresh
Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2002 15:09:28 +0530 Subject: The real danger
The story just moved my feelings towards the mother who is in search of her son. Its really very touching and for a son like hers. Though every mother think like her that her son is inoccent and its very common these days an innnocent person falling in pit. But the real danger is the media person these days who just roam around to collect news and nothing else. I think the media people should take strong steps if they r really concerned about him.

I read this news and was sad to find out that for this mother there was no one to help. I would like to request the police authority to pls help this mother find her son and help her to help him to overcome his problems. Vanishree

This useless government of ours, should tell the parents where their son is, and let them meet him. Amar

I feel really bad and wonder why the police cannot simply let the parents know where their son is.... Rohit

Very good coverage I request u guys to please look into the matter and try to rescue her son or at least let her know where is her son. Vipin Kumar
Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2002 11:33:48 +0530 Subject: A warning
Very touching story of a mother who wants her child back as he was. Is this not a warning to many parents who sent their children away from home never to realise how their innocent minds have been corrupted somewhere down the line and that they have lost their loved ones? Motty
Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2002 23:58:24 +0430 Subject: Point taken
So, where is he? You guys have made your point, this guy is sick and needs help. But remember that we're in India, not China, Vietnam or any of the other places where he's going to end up in a damp squalid jail with no hope of trial or help. He'll surely be psychoanalyzed and given help. All the media needs to do is follow up and report on whether that's done or not. Also, man his mother's cries are heart-rending. Are you guys going to help her find her son or not?? Surely, you've got enough resources to do so. It's pure commercial capitalistic mercenary cruelty on your part to report this story if you're not doing something about it. Vivek
Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2002 11:21:50 +0530 Subject: Track him down
This story itself has brought tear in my eyes...I can't even imagine what the Sasiraj's Family has gone through and is going through...At least Indian Police Should help them just tracking down Sasiraj. G S Patki

I feel terrible for the lady..I am a mother myself, and know about those bonds. I do wish the authorities would let the lady meet and talk with her son. There is so much unrequired hatred in this world..Oh...when will people understand the value of love? Shobha
Date: Fri, 20 Sep 2002 22:33:28 -0700 (PDT) Subject: Barred by law
no law allows to keep a son away from his mother . even if sasiraj is somehow involved in hijacking , he should be given a chance to meet his parents specially his mother. As a Indian we do have great value for our families and realtives if there is anything with sasi then he will spell out to his mother . so please help him out let her mother meet him. Moncy

This is really a sad story that in our country the judicial enquiry and the process is still not fair enough. Raj
Date: 21 Sep 2002 05:14:32 -0000 Subject: Find the cause
The report clearly shows that Sasiraj who was accused of hijacking a plane is a mentally sick person and should be given medical attention rather then any kind of punishment. The law enforcing agencies should investigate what happened with Sasiraj in US that caused this kind of a set back in his life rather then stating a criminal verdict for his recent act. His parent should at least be given the information of his where abouts. Vidhya

This is a one of the problem which are faced by lot of middle class youth. Unsecurity of life inspite of good work in childhood. A right childhood can not tolerate when see the country working & dipressed. Further the same story may be in other way. Mother has to be definitely informed by concern airline/ Govt. of India what ever case may be. Rajneesh
Date: Sat, 21 Sep 2002 10:11:44 +0530 Subject: The right environment
In one word, i fully understand the agony of that person and his family too, anxiety and depression take a deeper dig into a person life. but what i feel only self confidence and nothing else will help in this matter. Medicines may help but it will be cured only when one gets determine to overcome this. environment and atmosphere are two very important factors in restoring confidence. i can pray for him and his family.
