A came running into a forest behind a fox and shot it with the intention of killing it, but suddenly B appeared and was killed by that shot. Decide
A is liable for culpable homicide
A is liable for muder
A is not liable for any crime as B came in his way
None of the above
A person commits culpable homicide when he causes the death of another person while trying to kill the other person. Here the intention of the person who killed or grievously hurt any other person whom he didn’t want to kill or hurt is not considered. Hence Option A is correct.
