Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 108 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 306 IPC) punishes abetment of suicide, so the prosecution must prove abetment as defined by section 45 (formerly section 107 IPC): instigation, engaging in a conspiracy followed by an act or illegal omission, or intentional aid. Mere cruelty without the necessary abetment connection is insufficient. Gurcharan Singh stresses the required mental element and relationship to the suicide.
