Another school student kidnapped in Patna

PATNA: A boy was on Friday kidnapped by unidentified persons travelling in a car in Patna when he was on way to school, police said.

Akash, a seventh standard student was on way to the DAV school at Shastri Nagar from his house at Chanakya Puri in Raja Bazaar locality on his bicycle when three persons in a green car intercepted him, bundled him into the vehicle and sped away, police and eyewitnesses said.

The incident occurred near J D Women's college. According to eyewitness accounts, the green coloured car bore registration number BR 1M 9612.

Police, however, suspect that the number might be fake. Akash is the son of Yogendra Pandey, an employee of the Bihar Public Health Engineering Department.
Raids are being launched to apprehend the kidnappers and recover the boy, sources said, adding ransom might be the reason behind the incident.

Akash's kidnapping came barely five days after the body of Roshan, an eight standard student of Patna Central School, was found in Kankarbagh locality of the state capital on August six, three days after he was allegedly abducted by his friends.
