Bribery, under the Indian Penal Code, 1860, includes which of the following?

1. Giving a gratification to any person with the object of inducing him to exercise any electoral right or rewarding any person for having exercised any such right
2. Making of a declaration of public policy or making of a promise of public action
3. Giving or accepting a treat in the form of food, drink or entertainment

Select the correct answer using the code given below.

Under the Indian Penal Code (IPC), 1860, Section 171B defines bribery in the context of elections. Statement 1 is correct as it directly reflects the definition in Section 171B(1)(i), which involves giving gratification to induce or reward the exercise of an electoral right. Statement 2 is incorrect because the proviso to Section 171B explicitly states that a "declaration of public policy or a promise of public action shall not be deemed to be bribery." Statement 3 is correct; according to the Explanation to Section 171E, "treating" is defined as a form of bribery where the gratification consists of food, drink, entertainment, or provision. While Section 171E prescribes a lesser punishment (fine only) for bribery by treating, it is legally classified as bribery under the IPC.
