    IPC Section 300 Murder is the act of causing the death of a person with the intention of causing death or with the intention of causing bodily injury that is likely to cause death. There are certain exceptions and explanations provided in the IPC that specify the nature of murder and the various circumstances that could lead to it. Kidnapping (Section 359-369 IPC): Kidnapping involves the act of taking away or enticing a person by force, deceit, or coercion, with the intent to wrongfully confine that person.
