Discussion
Which of the following activities, specifically addressed under Section 95 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, was not included in the Indian Penal Code (IPC) ?
Answer: D
The answer is Both (A) and (B).
Section 95 of the BNS, which had no counterpart in the IPC, punishes whoever hires, employs or engages a child to commit an offence, with imprisonment of not less than three years, extending to ten years, and fine. Its Explanation says that using a child for sexual exploitation or pornography is covered by the section.
So both hiring a child to commit an offence and engaging a child for sexual exploitation or pornography are addressed. Option C is a looser restatement of A, not a separate element.
