"A" does so without her consent knowing it to be likely that he may thereby frighten or annoy her. "A" has used criminal force to her.
Under the Indian Penal Code, mere verbal threats like 'I will give you a beating' do not amount to 'assault' unless accompanied by preparation or gesture causing apprehension of criminal force. However, pulling a woman's veil intentionally without consent to frighten or annoy her constitutes the use of 'criminal force'.
