Abetment of such assault if assault committed
IPC
134
BNS
162
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 134 dealt with “Abetment of such assault if assault committed”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 162 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
