Question

Point out the statement which is wrong.

A.

International destruction of property for causing wrongful loss to any person is 'mischief'.

B.

Intentionally putting any person in fear of injury and thereby dishonestly inducing him to deliver any property is 'extortion'.

C.

Five or more persons conjointly committing robbery amounts to 'dacoity'.

D.

Two or more persons quarreling anywhere commit 'affray'.

Correct option is D


The statement "Two or more persons quarreling anywhere commit 'affray'" is incorrect. Under the Indian Penal Code, affray is defined as fighting in a public place and disturbing public peace. It involves more than just a simple quarrel.
Information Booster
Affray under Section 159 of IPC is defined as a fight between two or more persons that takes place in a public place and disturbs public peace. It requires actual fighting and a public disturbance, not just any quarrel between two people.
