In the context of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which one of the following statements is correct?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Under sections 100 and 101 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly sections 299 and 300 IPC), murder is an aggravated form of culpable homicide, so every murder is culpable homicide but not every culpable homicide is murder. Death by a negligent act is punishable under section 106 and is not murder, and death caused in a sudden fight falls within Exception 4 to section 101 when its conditions are met. Hence "Every murder is culpable homicide."
