The percentage variation for merely the last two years that is 2012 and 2013 has been a (35.2%) increase in the reported cases (Crime in India).
The present paper is an attempt to study this figurative rise in trend in abduction and kidnapping of women and girls over the years and an understanding of the progressive offenses that it leads to and the social perspectives and mind-sets that has been the basis for such offences.
