The abetment of an abetment is an offence under which section of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Explanation 4 to section 46 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 108 IPC) expressly states that because abetment of an offence is itself an offence, abetment of such abetment is also an offence. Its illustration covers A instigating B to instigate C to murder Z. Sections 45, 49 and 50 concern respectively the modes of abetment, punishment where the act abetted is committed in consequence, and punishment where the person abetted acts with a different intention, not this express explanation.
