  • B.Punished with the imprisonment which may extend to three years or with fine not extending two lakh rupees or both
  • C.Punishment with the imprisonment which may extend to five years or with fine not extending three lakh rupees or both
  • D.Punishment with the imprisonment which may extend to one year or with fine not extending two lakh rupees or with both.

Answer: B

Section 66E punishes violation of privacy with imprisonment up to three years or fine not exceeding two lakh rupees, or both.

Section 66E, inserted by the 2008 amendment, punishes whoever intentionally or knowingly captures, publishes or transmits the image of a private area of any person without consent, in circumstances violating that person's privacy. The punishment is imprisonment which may extend to three years or fine not exceeding two lakh rupees, or both.

The other options change the term, the amount, or the 'or' into 'and', so they do not match the section.
