Under Section 351(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), 2023, the offence of criminal intimidation is defined. It states that a person commits this offence if they threaten another with any injury to their person, reputation, or property (or to the person or reputation of anyone in whom that person is interested).

• Person: Refers to threats of physical harm or bodily injury.
• Reputation: Refers to threats intended to harm the social standing or character of the individual.
• Property: Refers to threats of damage or destruction to assets or belongings.

The threat must be made with the intent to cause alarm or to compel the person to perform an act they are not legally bound to do (or omit an act they are entitled to do). This provision retains the core definition previously found under Section 503 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
