IPC

BNS
195
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 152 dealt with “Assaulting or obstructing public servant when suppressing riot”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 195 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
