307
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 382 dealt with “Theft after preparation made for causing death hurt or restraint”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 307 of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
