A 10-year-old girl managed to foil a woman's attempt to kidnap her in Bhiwandi township of Maharashtra's Thane district, police said on Monday.
The girl, a Class V student, was returning from school close to her home in the township's Kongaon area at around 10am on Saturday when a burqa-clad woman tried to kidnap her, an official said.
"The woman pulled the child's leg, causing her to fall. However, the child kicked the woman and managed to run away. The girl's mother came out of the house and raised an alarm which alerted others," he said.
The woman managed to escape from the vicinity and a kidnapping case has been registered based on the child's father's complaint, he added.
