A holds Z down and dishonestly takes Z’s money and jewels from Z’s clothes without consent. Which offence best describes the taking together with the wrongful restraint under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 309(2) treats theft as "Robbery" when wrongful restraint is voluntarily caused for committing the theft, and illustration (a) gives this very example, so it is more than "Theft without the aggravating elements of robbery". A takes the property rather than Z delivering it, which rules out "Extortion by inducing Z to deliver the property", and the five-person requirement for "Dacoity" is absent.
