Adnan Patrawala, coool dude from Orkut

August 21, 2007 posted by indiatime |

A Mumbai businessman’s 16-year son was found strangled to death, after his family received ransom calls from his cell phone. Adnan Patrawala, a regular of the social networking site Orkut, apparently, had an appointment with an online acquaintance this Saturday night. Three youths, who are said to be friends of Adnan from the pool parlor are in police custody. Mumbai police is also looking for an online friend ‘Angel’ and one other person whose identity has not been revealed.

In the meantime, Adnan’s scapbook on Orkut is getting hundreds of visits per hour, with messages of condolences and demands for quick arrests of the perpetrators of the heinous crime.

“..wrds cant describe me but i m always coool wht more?..”, says Adnan describing himself to the Orkut community. Was it anyone from that same community who took the 16-year old’s life? Mumbai police will have the answer in the next few days.

    I just came to kno a few hors bak.. and this is serious issue…. We cant actually blame orkut for all this but yes we all should be very careful before taking any steps or making friends…

    We all tend to think that nothing like this can happen to us but fail to realise that every hour, every moment it is happening with ppl who are just like us…

    now i cant even pray for him but I definitly want those bunch of losers to get punishment..

    I strongly support the view of Aakansha….. orkut is merely a networking site….. which people use to find friends….. but there are always idiots who u have to watch out for….. from the pics which were flashed on tv and the paper…. adnan(with respects) luked like a party guy….. could have a possible security lax taken place..?? coz latest reports say that there is no person named Angel D. as said on papers….

    this is a really bad case which has taken place….. it puts a question on the security of mumbai and what people are ready to do for money…..

    but there’s nuthing much we can do now…. coz there is no way of getting him back….

    my deepest heartfelt condolences to the family…..

    and people of mumbai!!! STAY SAFE!!!

    First off let me clarify this i never like to write comments on sites surfing along and reading stuff is what i mostly.
    now since this whole issue have given a row against “orkut” my personal opinion is “YES” it is orkut which say 75 % responsible of this poor guys untimely death.
    why ???
    1)how many ppl have been killed in last one year which have been related to orkut and were killed by someone met from that place ??

    2)ubercool hideout for innocent and and perfect place for criminals to pick there prey as every form of info is there for them “name place personal info blah what you look like what your dislikes what bands blah blah ?? what more ??
    *FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT HEARD OF THIS AND BEEN LIVING UNDER THE ROCK AND SUPPORT ORKUT*

    3)LARGE NUMBER OF STALKERS AND PEDO’S
    now if you havnt heard of this info you better read more about what is orkut what is its origin
    MY FRIENDS YOU ALL DONT KNOW WHAT YOU ARE GETTING INTO

    its really very bad happend with adnan may his soul rest in peace god bless him here’s my one little question for u peoples
    police said tht he caught his 2 friends who planned to murder but point is tht police also can ask tht 2 of his friends who is this angel d n is her involvement is there in tht plan of murder but its really bad happend with adnan lets pray for him to his soul rest in peace n friends from next time be alerted for making stranger friends on orkut website

    ORKUT site is responsible for adnan’s death b coz it have no privacy anyone can make fake id so people dnt make stranger friends atleast dnt go to meet stranger friends

  7. harish s on August 23, 2007 4:02 pm

    i feel very sad hearing Adnan’s murder.i wonder one how could be such a heartless to kill an innocent / calm boy. We all general public reqeust to the law to give death punishment or more if any to all the culprits involved in Adnan’s death.
    my suggestion to all who do chat in Orkut or any other internet site that never give in your any personal information to anybody.And be always alert while making any friendship.

  8. sonam on August 23, 2007 5:54 pm

    i felt very bad for him,as his family has given him too much liberty in such a small age.
    i think that orkut is also responsible and police too he could be saved

  9. mehrosh panjwani on August 23, 2007 10:44 pm

    adnan patrawala………see the crimals should be hanged to death ..n i dont think orkut is totally responsible for this matter……they cant kill a 17 year old yaar n tht also for a ransom money….severe punishment should be given to his crimals…..

    ppl should be careful cause every second n every moment something or the other is happening around us.

    i knew adnan a bit…he lived in my area..indradarshan phase 3…………he was a gem of a person…..

    in a place like mumbai u cant just predict whts gonna happen next..incidents can also take place wid u the very next moment..u might not even realise

  10. rh on August 24, 2007 4:04 pm

    teenagers describes by double integer and are always eager
    i think websites like hi5,orkut are used by 95% of kids of india and is exploited
    adnan, may god bless ur family and i am grief stricken about this incident
    the culprits behind this filthy act should be put behind bars
    god give the patrawals strengh and my deepest sympathy

    miss u adnan

    its so painful 2 see a 16 year old dead for money…and tat too by his own frnd…tis is disgusting

    he looked so very innocent….hw can anyone think of even doing this…

    the media and the police officer who leaked the media is solely responsible for this. he wud not have died…..

    ANYWAYS….we cant change wat has already happened. bt we can aware the present generation 2 b careful….this world is not as good as we think….

    may be his death is a message for us from GOD.

    may god bless ur soul……….

    WHAT CAN WE DO?
    WHAT A HANDSOME HE WAS?I WAS REALLY SHOCKED ,WHEN I READ THE MURDER CASE OF ADNAN FROM MALAYALAM NEWSPAPER.AT THAT TIME,I DIDN’T HAD INTERNET IN MY COMPUTER.
    NOW ONE YEAR HAS FORMED AFTER THE MURDER OF ADNAN.STILL I DIDN’T FORGOT HIM.WHAT A CRUELTY HAD DONE TO THAT 16 YEAR OLD BOY.
    HE DEAD ON THE MONTH OF SEPTEMBER,I THINK. HE GONE TO A MALL.FROM THERE,A MAN REACHED ADNAN IN THEIR(MURDERER’S) SPOT.THE NEWS OF KIDNAPPING SPREAD ALL OVER MUMBAI.THIS PAVED WAY TO THE MURDER OF ADNAN.
    ANYWAY I THINK THE MURDERER’S GOT REASONABLE PUNISHMENT.
