In a swift operation on Saturday, Patna police successfully rescued 22-year-old Sumit Kumar, who had been abducted earlier that day. The incident occurred in broad daylight near the Pataliputra Sports Complex, with assailants forcing Sumit into a car before speeding away.

The victim was found safe within two hours in the Bahadurpur area after the perpetrators abandoned their vehicle and fled.

Investigators have recovered a motorcycle belonging to the accused and are working to identify the suspects through its registration number. Raids are ongoing to apprehend the individuals responsible. The precise motive will be confirmed once the accused are arrested, with police conducting a thorough investigation into the matter.
