Adventurous TV crew

Is it a sting operation or stealing of corpses? The issue pertaining to the recent disappearance of two bodies from Osmania General Hospital morgue is being interpreted in different ways. For the news channel that got the bodies out of the mortuary, it is an attempt to expose corruption. For the law enforcers, however, it is nothing but a crime. In the name of sting operation, the channel crew prompted a rickshaw puller to steal the bodies from the morgue posing as private medical college staff, the police say. To steal a march on their rivals, news channels are frequently resorting to ‘sting’ operations. But here is an example where cheap tricks for sensationalism end up only in getting stung. If one has doubts, ask the absconding channel crew.
