IPC 132 in BNS: Section 160
Abetment of mutiny if mutiny is committed in consequence thereof
IPC

BNS
160
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 132 dealt with “Abetment of mutiny if mutiny is committed in consequence thereof”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 160 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
