Which of the following is true in the context of abetment? 'A' says to 'B', "I intend to kill 'C'." 'B'…

Abetment requires instigation, an operative conspiracy, or intentional assistance. A bare, indifferent response permitting A to do as A likes does not by itself establish an intention to incite murder; no agreement, aid or further encouragement is stated. Ramesh Kumar explains that instigation requires an intention and a reasonably certain tendency to incite the act. Additional context could change the result, but the question supplies none.

Current law: BNS section 45 retains the three forms of abetment. The requirement of intentional instigation or assistance remains; BNS section 358 saves earlier conduct.
