A minor girl was kidnapped from Bihar's Purnea district on Monday, police said.
Navya Kumari, a Class 3 student of a private school, was abducted in broad daylight by four wheeler-borne criminals from Purnea's Gulzarbag Bazar locality.
The victim is the daughter of a businessman.
Purnea Superintendent of Police Vishal Sharma said the incident took place when Navya was returning home from school.
The police were conducting raids to rescue the child, he said.
Over a dozen cases of abduction have been reported in the state this year.
In January, a 16-year-old son of a property dealer was kidnapped for ransom and later found murdered.
