Statement 2: A person in dominion over entrusted property who dishonestly misappropriates it or converts it to personal use commits criminal breach of trust.

Section 405 of BNS, 2023 defines criminal breach of trust as: "Whoever, being in any manner entrusted with property, or with any dominion over property, dishonestly misappropriates or converts to his own use that property, or dishonestly uses or disposes of that property in violation of any direction of law prescribing the mode...of discharge of such trust..." Statement 2 is correct—dominion and dishonest conversion/misappropriation are key. Statement 3 is correct—dishonest intention (not negligence) is required. Statement 4 is correct—violation of prescribed mode of discharge is criminal breach of trust. Statement 1 is incorrect—entrustment can be "in any manner"; explicit written agreement is not required. Statements 2, 3, and 4 are correct.
