Where is Najeeb‪?‬

For the attention of travellers: here are attached two photos of Jean-Baptiste Talleu, French cycling from France to Asia. He's 26 years old, 1.80 m tall; he has long curly brown-dark hair, always tied. He's thin and usually wears beige, brown, blue, or black clothes, never multicoloured. If you see him, please tell him to give us some news, and if you have any helpful information, please write us an e-mail.

ï "If I have to take police protection in my own country from my people, then there is something wrong with me; I'm fighting within the framework of the Indian Constitution, and it is not against anyone, but for everyone".

ï It seems he foresaw his death. "For he sketched a man decapitating another man with an axe" that is how his body was found in Aarey (A suburb of Mumbai) sometime later. His murder had all the signs of human sacrifice, but the question is, who killed him? And why?

ï "Where is Najeeb and Other Unsolved Crime Stories from India" is one such book that should be on every bestseller list because this book is indeed the one that deserves it. The author's idea of this book is to apprise the readers with similar cases where the failure of the police to act promptly or investigate properly shook the public's faith in the police administration. In addition, Prabuddh has highlighted the causes behind the poor police administration: inadequate training of newly recruited police officials, low salary structure, lack of resources, and an ethical environment to encourage professional practices and mindset.
