Three persons Kabul's police had questioned were found unlikely to have had anything to do with the abduction, senior officials said. But till this evening, no group had claimed responsibility for the abduction or made any demands in exchange for Judith's release. But for Indian officials trying to ensure the release of Judith D'Souza, the Calcutta aid worker kidnapped in Kabul, the silence today was no less a source of concern. Soon after Judith's abduction, Indian officials had told her family in Calcutta and her employers at the Aga Khan Development network to inform them immediately if they received ransom calls, a top diplomat said. "Our peer group has been giving us the moral support that we needed.... We should not forget Judith," Jerome said.
