Kidnapping is the taking away of a person by force, threat, or deceit, with intent to cause him or her to be detained against his or her will. Kidnapping may be done for ransom or for political or other purposes. Abduction is the criminal taking away a person by persuasion, by fraud, or by open force or violence.
What is worse kidnapping or abduction?
Kidnapping and child abduction are two separate crimes, though both are felonies. Kidnapping is more serious than child abduction, but the two are often confused.
Kidnapping is of two kinds: Kidnapping from India, and kidnapping from lawful guardianship. But these both types can overlap each other. For example 'A' minor boy was kidnapped by 'B' from the lawful guardianship of 'C'(without his consent) and taken 'A' to beyond the limit of India.
