    Question

    Preparation of which of the following offences is also punishable under the BNS?

    A.

    Murder

    B.

    Theft

    C.

    Rape

    D.

    Dacoity

    Correct option is D

    The correct answer is D. Under Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, preparation for a crime is generally not punishable, except in certain serious offenses like dacoity. Section 310 of BNS, 2023 (earlier Section 399 IPC) specifically makes preparation to commit dacoity a punishable offense due to the serious threat it poses to public safety. However, preparation for murder, theft, or rape is not punishable unless an attempt is made.
