Under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The incorrect statement is that section 45 defines an abettor. Section 45 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 defines abetment of a thing, while section 46 identifies who is an abettor (formerly sections 107 and 108 IPC respectively). Abetment can exist even if the act encouraged is not completed, and an abettor is not automatically responsible for a separate theft committed during an abetted house burning when that theft is not a probable consequence.
