Affray under section 194(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 159 IPC) requires only two or more persons fighting in a public place in a manner disturbing the public peace; a requirement of five or more persons belongs instead to the definition of unlawful assembly in section 189(1), not affray.
