Section 45 of BNS, 2023 defines abetment through three modes: (1) instigation, (2) conspiracy with illegal act/omission in pursuance, and (3) intentional aid. Statement 1 is correct—instigation is one mode of abetment. Statement 2 is correct—conspiracy followed by act in pursuance is abetment. Statement 4 is correct—intentional aid constitutes abetment. Statement 3 is incorrect—Section 46 clarifies that abetment is punishable even if the abetted offence is not committed. Thus, actual commission is not required for abettor liability. Statements 1, 2, and 4 are correct.
