BNS Section 108 | Mere Words 'Go and Die' Without Proof of Intent or Coercion Not Sufficient for Abetment of Suicide : Karnataka HC
The Karnataka High Court ruled that casual remarks like 'go and die' do not constitute criminal instigation under BNS Section 108 unless accompanied by proof of intent to provoke suicide or coercive conduct. The decision underscores that bail remains the rule, and pre-trial detention requires substantive evidence of abetment beyond mere words.
