In a landmark move, the Jammu and Kashmir Police registered their first FIRs under the newly implemented Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) across multiple districts, including Anantnag, Srinagar, Baramulla, and Kulgam. This momentous occasion signals the advent of a new era in the justice delivery system within the Kashmir Zone.

According to a police spokesperson, the first FIR in Anantnag was filed under sections 125(a) and 281 at Bijbehara Police Station. Subsequent FIRs were recorded in Srinagar, Baramulla, and Sopore under various sections of the BNS, outlining the stringent legal protocols now in place.
