What is the section for snatching mobile
16-Jun-2025 (In Criminal Law)
Sir, I want to know What is the section for snatching mobile in bus.
In short, mobile phone snatching in a bus is a criminal offense under these key IPC sections:
Section 379 IPC – Theft (up to 3 years imprisonment)
Section 356 IPC – Use of force during theft (up to 2 years)
Section 392 IPC – Robbery if there's violence or threat (up to 10 years)
Section 394 IPC – Robbery causing hurt (up to 10 years + fine)
Section 34 IPC – Common intention (if done by a group)
If violence or fear is involved, it's treated as robbery, not just theft. FIR should be filed immediately with full details.
