Section 61(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 provides the punishment for criminal conspiracy, whereas section 61(1) defines the offence (formerly sections 120B and 120A IPC respectively). For specified serious conspiracies, section 61(2)(a) generally uses the punishment applicable to abetment where no express conspiracy punishment is provided.
