The Punjab Police marked a significant milestone on Monday by registering its first FIR under the newly enforced criminal laws, according to a senior police official in Sangrur.
The FIR, related to a theft case, was lodged at the Sadar Dhuri police station under section 303 BNSS, 2023. 'Further investigation will adhere strictly to the guidelines of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS),' stated Inspector General Dr Sukhchain Singh Gill.
These comprehensive new laws, which aim to overhaul India's criminal justice system, have replaced outdated British-era legislations. Inspector General Gill highlighted several key provisions, including mandatory audio/video recordings during investigations and electronic means for serving summons. 'The Punjab Police has already trained over 20,000 personnel on these new laws, with ongoing sessions for the remaining staff,' Gill added.
