Wrongful confinement in secret
AI Assist
Summary
Confining someone in a way that shows you intend to hide the fact of their confinement or the place from relatives, other interested persons, or public servants is treated as secret wrongful confinement. When the confinement is done with that intent, the offender may be punished with imprisonment of up to two years. This punishment is in addition to any other penalty for the wrongful confinement.
Example
Ravi locks his tenant Aditya in a room and tells neighbours and the police he does not know where Aditya is. Because Ravi intended to hide both the confinement and its location, he can be punished with up to two years' imprisonment in addition to any other punishment for the wrongful confinement.
