...group claiming responsibility, the Indian Mujahideen, is suspected to be an amalgamation of home-grown and Pakistan-based terror outfits that profess to seek revenge for the purported injustices and atrocities against the country's Muslim minority.

It is the kind of frenzy Western audiences have gotten used to since the still-unsolved JonBenet Ramsey case in the U.S. more than a decade ago, but in India, this home-grown tragedy is generating an enormous domestic market for tabloid journalism. Critics fear that the overzealous media coverage, combined with the police's missteps, may have already prejudiced the course of justice...
