In a significant step towards reforming India's criminal justice system, the Charminar police in Telangana have filed the first FIR under the provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. The complaint involves two individuals allegedly operating vehicles without number plates.

Additionally, the case invokes rules under the Motor Vehicles Act. The FIR, signed digitally, highlights the transition from colonial-era laws to the newly enacted Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA).

State DGP Ravi Gupta announced this milestone via a social media post, noting that the FIR was issued by Charminar Police Station, emphasizing the innovative step towards modernization and efficiency in law enforcement practices.
