New Sighting of Madeleine in India

Quotes:

SRINAGAR The Jammu and Kashmir Police on Thursday denied media reports that a British girl who had reportedly gone missing in Portugal four years ago was found in Leh.
Abdul Gani Mir, deputy inspector-general of police (DIG), said: “We have not recovered any missing foreign girl from Leh. There is no question of carrying out a DNA test since we don’t have the girl. Our field staff in Leh have confirmed that no such girl has been recovered by them.

It appears that the “sighting” of a Madeleine look-alike in Leh, India was some sort of hoax. Since Clarence Mitchell, the McCanns’ long-time PR spokesman, was quoted in UK papers as saying that they were “liaising with” Indian police and awaiting DNA test results, one must wonder if people associated with the McCanns were not in on it. According to Indian police, there was no investigation and no DNA taken, so who was Mr. Mitchell liaising with, and what DNA was he talking about?

@Ech0mark Hi, sorry, we have never reported the story online because we phoned Indian police who immediately denied it was true

@ststama I can’t answer for them, all I can report is that when Sky phoned the police they said they didn’t know about a girl or a DNA test.

@DRoseTimes Not only that, but the chief of police in Leh has told us he has no idea what they’re talking about

In case of any doubt over Madeleine McCann story, Sky News has spoken to Supt Vivek Gupta, senior cop in Leh – he knows nothing about it

Story on Daily Mail website about DNA test on girl who looks like #Madeleine McCann, Indian police tell Sky News they know nothing about it.

So are Carter Ruck going to show the great British Public that they are a responsible company with ethics and sue the McCann team for lying & making up stories to 60+ million people

Well there is nothing new about the McCanns lying. Didn't deter CR or CM before.
