I was robbed at knifepoint in Bangalore; what is the punishment and how do I identify the accused?

Detailed Legal Analysis

Robbery under Section 392 IPC (Section 310 BNS) is punishable up to ten years, and life imprisonment where hurt is caused (Section 397). You should immediately report to Bangalore police, who will register an FIR and arrange identification through a test identification parade if the accused is arrested.

The statement under Section 164 CrPC should be recorded, and medical examination done if injured. Karnataka High Court monitors heinous-robbery investigations for delay.

Karnataka Rent Control Act 1999 may provide State victim-compensation, so apply through the legal services authority. The offence is non-bailable, and bail is granted on strict conditions.

Recovered property and fingerprints are critical evidence.
