Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, in which of the following cases is the offence of 'house-breaking' committed?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 330(2) of the BNS (formerly section 445 IPC) includes opening an entrance by an unintended means, opening a lock, and entering through an assault or threat of assault. Its illustrations specifically cover the wire-lifted latch, use of the owner’s lost key, and threatening the doorkeeper. Since each example expressly involves house-trespass plus one listed mode, all are house-breaking.
