My girlfriend and I, both 25, are from Delhi and want to get married. Her parents in Bihar found out and won’t let her return. She’s asked me to go there and help her come back. Could her parents accuse me of kidnapping? If so, what legal protections are available?

In India, taking someone against their will, even with their consent, can be considered kidnapping if it’s against their parents’ wishes. However, since you’re both adults, her consent and your intention to marry would be strong defenses against such accusations. You should consult with a lawyer for specific advice regarding your situation.
