Attempt to Commit Suicide in Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023 (BNS)

  • This new Act removes the Section of attempt to commit suicide from the statute books, it doesn’t entirely decriminalize the offence of attempting to die by suicide.
  • Section 226 of the BNS states that whoever attempts to commit suicide with the intent to compel or restrain any public servant from discharging his official duty shall be punished with simple imprisonment for a term which may extend to one year or with fine or with both or with community service.
  • So, an attempt to commit suicide remains a punishable offence if it is made to stop a public servant from acting.
