A holds Z down, and fraudulently takes Z's money and jewels from Z's clothes, without Z's consent. Here A has committed theft, and, in order to committing of that theft, has voluntarily, caused wrongful restraint to Z. A has therefore committed ?
Correct answer: B. Robbery
- A. Dacoity
- B. Robbery
- C. No offence
- D. None of these
Explanation
Theft becomes robbery when, in committing or carrying away the theft, the offender voluntarily causes or attempts to cause wrongful restraint, hurt, or fear of instant harm. Holding Z down while taking the property therefore constitutes robbery, not dacoity because no group of five or more offenders is stated.
