Just that it is powered by activities on the wrong side of the law. The recent theft of valuables worth Rs 1.45 crore by a 14-year-old boy during a wedding at a five-star hotel in Rajasthan capital Jaipur brought these villages Kadiya Sansi, Gulkhedi and Hulkhedi into prominence on the national crime map. The local police estimate that 1,000-1,200 criminal cases have been registered across the country against boys, men, girls and women from these villages.
