      Solution

      The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 has introduced specific recognition and criminalization of mob lynching under Section 103 (group assault resulting in death or grievous hurt on grounds such as caste, religion, gender, language, etc.). • This is a new addition that was not clearly defined in the Indian Penal Code. • It provides stricter penalties when death or serious harm is caused by a group acting on social hatred or prejudice. • It reflects the intent to address emerging forms of collective violence and maintain communal harmony and individual safety.
