What constitutes "sexual assault" as per the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita ?

  • A.Any unwelcome sexual advance or physical contact with sexual intent
  • B.Showing Pornography without consent
  • C.Making sexually coloured remarks
  • D.All of the above

Answer: D

The key's answer is All of the above.

The BNS does not use the term 'sexual assault' for these acts; the offence they make up is sexual harassment under Section 75. It covers unwelcome physical contact and advances involving explicit sexual overtures, a demand or request for sexual favours, showing pornography against a woman's will, and making sexually coloured remarks.

Read as the Section 75 offence the paper means, all three options are included, so choosing one alone is incomplete.
