IPC

BNS
161
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 133 dealt with “Abetment of assault by soldier sailor or airman on his superior officer”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 161 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
