Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, in which one of the following circumstances, the right of private defence of the body extends to causing death?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 38(g) of the BNS covers "an act of throwing or administering acid or an attempt to throw or administer acid" which may reasonably cause apprehension of grievous hurt. Apprehension of simple hurt, wrongful restraint or a simple theft does not extend the right of private defence of the body to causing death.
