Example 1:

Ravi, a resident of Mumbai, is part of a group that regularly engages in stealing motorcycles from various parts of the city. The group has been active for several years, and each member has been involved in multiple thefts. One day, the police catch Ravi and his associates red-handed while they are attempting to steal another motorcycle. Under Section 313 of The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, Ravi and his gang members can be punished with rigorous imprisonment for up to seven years and may also be fined for being part of a gang habitually committing theft.

Example 2:

In a small town in Uttar Pradesh, a group of individuals, including Suresh, has been involved in robbing houses in the area. They have a pattern of breaking into homes late at night and stealing valuables. The police have been investigating these incidents and finally gather enough evidence to arrest Suresh and his gang. Since Suresh belongs to a gang that habitually commits robbery, he can be sentenced to rigorous imprisonment for up to seven years and may also face a fine, as per Section 313 of The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023.
