Section 100 of BNS, 2023 defines culpable homicide as: "Whoever causes death by doing an act with (1) the intention of causing death, or the intention of causing such bodily injury as is likely to cause death, or (2) with the knowledge that he is likely by such act to cause death, commits the offence of culpable homicide." Statement 1 is correct as it captures the mental elements (intention and knowledge). Statement 2 is correct—the illustration to Section 100 specifically addresses throwing a stone onto a busy street as causing culpable homicide. Statement 4 is correct as it aligns with the knowledge-based component.
