Mr.Smith said that the Australian criminal research agency has been roped in to study the issue and suggest remedial measures. He said there have been convictions in many cases while investigation is going on in 70 cases.The minister had a series of meeting in recent months with his Indian counterpart S M Krishna over the issue.
