Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

Section 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (formerly section 34 IPC) requires a criminal act done by several persons in furtherance of the common intention of all. Mere similar intentions held independently are insufficient. A shared intention or meeting of minds must be established, although it may develop on the spot and need not result from a long-standing plan.
