A joins an insurrection against the Government of India. What offence has A committed?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 147 of the BNS punishes whoever wages war against the Government of India, attempts to wage it, or abets it. The Act illustrates this with A joining an insurrection, so A has committed "Waging war against the Government of India". Collecting arms (section 149) and concealing a design (section 150) are preparatory or related offences, and rioting does not capture an insurrection against the Government.
