      Solution

      The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 has introduced specific provisions for “organized crime” under Section 111, marking a major shift from the IPC. • Organized crime is defined as continuing unlawful activity by an individual or a group, intended to gain pecuniary or other material benefits, often involving violence, threats, or intimidation. • It includes extortion, contract killings, trafficking, illegal trade, and similar offenses carried out by criminal syndicates. • Punishment can range from a minimum of 5 years to life imprisonment or even death, depending on the severity and consequence (e.g., resulting in death). This provision ensures stronger legal action against syndicate-led crimes, which is vital for national security and economic stability — both key concerns in insurance and public sector governance.
