<h1>Harboring Escapees: Section 253 Imposes Severe Penalties for Concealing Individuals Escaped from Custody, With Spousal Exception</h1> Section 253 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023, addresses the offense of harboring an individual who has escaped from lawful custody or whose apprehension has been ordered. If a person knowingly harbors or conceals such an individual to prevent apprehension, they face penalties based on the severity of the original offense. The punishments range from up to seven years of imprisonment for offenses punishable by death, to lesser terms for other offenses. The section also includes acts committed outside India that would be punishable domestically. An exception exists for spouses concealing their partners.
