Which of the following offences was removed from the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Sedition, formerly covered by section 124A of the Indian Penal Code, is the omitted offence in this comparison. The BNS instead creates a distinct offence in section 152 concerning acts endangering India's sovereignty, unity and integrity. This change does not mean that inciting secession or armed rebellion becomes lawful.
