Chat Topic: Crime and Sting Operations
4 pm, Monday
They say Sting Operations are in bad taste. But time and again the media have shown their efficacy by exposing shocking crimes and the dirty underbellies of society which would, otherwise, have never probably been noticed by the law-enforcing agencies.

VK Shashikumar, Editor Special Investigations, CNN-IBN, will discuss this issue with IBNLive readers on our chatroom from 4 pm on Monday.
