Kidnapping is taking away or forcefully moving a person against his/her will and holding him/her in unjust captivity. The act is usually done for a motive like getting monetary reward/ ransom or getting some sort of benefit from the person or their family. The kidnapper is usually a family acquaintance who knows about the family's wealth and influence, or a stranger who targeted the victim based on their outward appearance of wealth or information given to the kidnapper from someone who knows the victim intimately, such as a household employee or someone else who suspects that the victim has a lot of cash.
