Without consent, A photographs an adult woman bathing with intimate body parts exposed in her private bathroom, where she reasonably expects not to be observed, and publishes the image online. Which BNS offence specifically describes this conduct?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 77 covers capture of a woman's private act in circumstances of the specified expectation of privacy and dissemination of such an image, and the stated bathroom exposure satisfies its private-act explanation, so the offence is "Voyeurism". Publication alone does not prove the separate elements of other offences, so "Criminal intimidation, without any stated threat", "Stalking solely because any image was published" and "Theft solely because a photograph was taken" are wrong.
