Which of the following new offences was NOT present in the Indian Penal Code, 1860 however has been introduced in the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer C

Section 69 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita introduces a specific offence of sexual intercourse obtained through deceitful means or a promise to marry made without an intention to fulfil it, where the intercourse does not amount to rape. Acid attacks, trafficking of persons and culpable homicide already had provisions in the Indian Penal Code. The new feature is this separately defined non-rape offence, rather than the first-ever criminal relevance of deception.
