29-Mar-2023 (In Criminal Law)
A 17 year girl visit with her sister and brother in law in her sister home on 20,11,2016 at pune from bihar first time. The girl elopes on 02.01.2017 about 10.30. p.m. with a local boy age 19 year (approx.). A f.i.r.against crime has been lodged on 03.01.2017. After sometime boy's mother has lodge a fake n.c. against me (brother in law's of the girl) on 15.02.2017 that he has threatened. Till date girl has been not found by police. What should I do? What is the liability of me and what to reply her father?
As F.I.R has been lodged, the 19 year old boy will be held responsible for Kidnapping under section 361 of Indian Penal Code. Also, you will also be held responsible as you were a accessory in the said offence as you never reported it to her parents even when she was there at your place without the consent of her parents. You should have reported the incident immediately to her parents. Though, you have the defence available to your disposal that you did not know that she will elope as she cam to your house with her sister and brother-in-law.
