Orkut's Worst Time

The Mumbai police claim they have zeroed in on the mastermind of the kidnapping of teenager Adnan Patrawala, who was found murdered in his car on Monday.
Police sources have told NDTV that Sujit Nair, one of the accused sent to police custody till August 28, was the mastermind.
Nair was allegedly planning to escape to Dubai but was arrested along with two others on Monday.
Sixteen-year-old Adnan was kidnapped on Saturday night and later killed. His killers allegedly met him through the social networking site Orkut.
According to the police, Adnan's killers gave him an alcoholic drink laced with sleeping pills before strangling him.
He was allegedly killed by three men he met on the social networking site Orkut. Two of the accused have been sent to police custody till August 28 while one has been sent to a juvenile home.

The Mumbai police have arrested a fourth man in connection with the kidnap and murder of 16- year-old Adnan Patrawala.
Twenty-four-year-old Rajeev Himmatbhai Dhariya, an embroidery designer, is believed to have strangled Adnan.
According to the police, money was the sole motive behind Adnan's kidnapping.
Based on current investigations the Orkut link has been ruled out. Mumbai police investigators are now certain that Adnan met his alleged killers off line at a gaming centre in Malad, which he used to frequent.
The police have also ruled out as a suspect- the mysterious Angel, who Adnan was in regular touch with on Orkut.
Angel's identity is being kept a secret but the police have said Angel may be called upon as a witness.
Search for the absconder
As investigations into the case continue, the police have found out that there were five people involved in the plot. On the day he was kidnapped, four people were in the car with Adnan.
All four have been arrested, while one last person is still absconding. Search teams have been sent outside Mumbai to trace the missing accused.
''Investigations are still on. We have an idea of who they are but if we say anything they will be alerted,'' said VK Chaubey, DCP Zone 9.
Based on interrogations with the accused, the police have more details of what the killers did with Adnan's body.
His body was stripped after he was strangled and thrown into the marshes. It was covered with bushes so he wouldn't be found for a long time. They were hoping that without his clothes he would not be identified.
The families of the accused meanwhile continue to deny their involvement.
But what is crucial now for the police is the evidence they gather to back these charges.
