Media to blame

Sir, — The report of the `hangings' enacted by children in Kolkata after the execution of Dhananjoy Chatterjee, which led to the death of two children, was disturbing. It was the media that hyped the Dhananjoy episode and they have to share a large part of the blame for influencing the young minds.
