Abigail Sara Reji, a six-year-old girl in the South Indian State of Kerala, who was abducted on Monday evening from a street near her house was found abandoned after over 20 hours.


Abigail was found abandoned inside a car, local TV channels reported. Visuals show the kid being carried to a police vehicle by an officer. The girl looked visibly tired.


The kidnappers are still at large


The kidnappers, suspected to be four in number including a woman, came in a white car and abducted the six-year-old girl while she was going for tuition classes along with her eight-year-old brother.


Two ransom calls were allegedly made by the kidnappers. Initially, they demanded Rs 5 lakh ($RO1,300) and figures were doubled later.
