BNS
326(d)
Under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, Section 433 dealt with “Mischief by destroying moving or rendering less useful a light-house or sea-mark”. Since the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 came into force on 1 July 2024, the corresponding provision is Section 326(d) of the BNS. The Sanhita renumbered the whole code, so the old IPC number does not carry over — this is the official mapping.
