Offences Against the Human Body

What Changed?

Chapter VI of the BNS replaces Chapter XVI of the IPC. While the core definitions of Murder and Culpable Homicide remain similar, the section numbering has shifted significantly (e.g., IPC 302 is now BNS 103). New provisions for Organized Crime and Hit-and-Run have also been integrated.

IPC 302 → BNS 103 Punishment for Murder IPC 307 → BNS 109 Attempt to Murder IPC 304B → BNS 80 Dowry Death IPC 323 → BNS 115 Voluntarily Causing Hurt IPC 326A → BNS 124 Acid Attack Penalties IPC 354 → BNS 74 Assault on Woman (Modesty) IPC 341 → BNS 126 Wrongful Restraint IPC 363 → BNS 137 Punishment for Kidnapping IPC 304A → BNS 106 Death by Negligence
