The Sanhita prescribes punishment for a person who is a member of an organization which is involved in terrorist acts. 2.

The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, which replaced the Indian Penal Code, introduced specific provisions for modern crimes. The analysis of the statements is as follows:

• Statement 1 is correct: Section 113 of the BNS defines 'terrorist acts'. Specifically, Section 113(5) states that any person who is a member of an organisation involved in a terrorist act shall be punished with imprisonment for a term which may extend to imprisonment for life, and shall also be liable to a fine.
• Statement 2 is incorrect: Section 112 of the BNS defines and penalises 'petty organised crime' (such as snatching, pickpocketing, or unauthorized selling of tickets by a group). According to Section 112(2), the punishment for committing such an offence is imprisonment for a term not less than one year but which may extend to seven years, along with a fine. The statement incorrectly identifies the maximum punishment as five years.
