Four persons were arrested for barging into a house in Palamau district and attempting to kidnap a minor girl, police said on Thursday.
The abduction bid was foiled as other inmates of the house raised an alarm, following which angry villagers roughed up the four accused on Wednesday night.
Police reached the spot at Bardiha village and arrested the four men, a senior officer said.
Hussainabad police in-charge Ras Bihari Lal said one of the accused had a love affair with the girl (15), and had taken his accomplices to the house with the aim to kidnap her.
The four were produced in a local court on Thursday, and remanded to 14 days judicial custody.
