Explanation

Criminal breach of trust (Section 405 IPC) specifically deals with property that has been entrusted to the offender. The essence of this offence is the betrayal of trust - when someone dishonestly misappropriates or converts property they were lawfully entrusted with. It differs from theft which involves taking property without consent.
