Question

Arun instigates Balu to murder Kumar. Balu refuses to do so. Arun is guilty of _______

• A. Culpable homicide
• B. Murder
• C. Abetment
• D. Attempt to murder

Hint:

Abetment refers to the act of encouraging or instigating another person to commit a crime, even if the crime is not carried out.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

In this case, Arun is guilty of abetment. He instigated Balu to commit murder, but since Balu did not act, Arun is guilty of abetment, not murder.
