An 11-year-old boy who was abducted a fortnight ago, was rescued by a joint team of Arunachal Pradesh and Assam police from Gohpur in Assam's Sonitpur district, the police said today.

"Bikram Kumar, son of a Naharlagun postal department employee, was abducted by three armed miscreants from Gohpur area," Capital SP Seiju P Kuruvilla said.
