Explanation using Example
Example 1:
Ravi, a college student, is constantly bullied by his classmates. One of his classmates, Arjun, repeatedly tells Ravi that he is worthless and should end his life. Arjun even provides Ravi with sleeping pills and instructions on how to use them to commit suicide. Feeling hopeless, Ravi takes the pills and ends his life. In this scenario, Arjun can be charged under Section 108 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 for abetment of suicide, as he actively encouraged and facilitated Ravi's suicide.
Example 2:
Meena is in a toxic relationship with her boyfriend, Raj. Raj frequently tells Meena that she is a burden and that the world would be better off without her. He sends her messages suggesting various methods to commit suicide and even threatens to leave her if she does not follow through. Overwhelmed by Raj's constant pressure and emotional abuse, Meena takes her own life. Raj can be held liable under Section 108 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023 for abetment of suicide, as his actions and words directly contributed to Meena's decision to end her life.
