Kidnapping
AI Assist
Summary
There are two kinds of kidnapping: kidnapping from India, and kidnapping from lawful guardianship. Kidnapping from India occurs when a person is taken out of the country without lawful authority or consent. Kidnapping from lawful guardianship happens when a person, often a child, is taken away from the person legally responsible for them; both are treated as criminal kidnapping.
Example
Priya takes her nephew to Nepal without the parents' permission. That is kidnapping from India, so it is treated as kidnapping under the law.
