Chhattisgarh marked a historic moment with the registration of the first case under the newly implemented Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at Rengakhar police station in Kabirdham district, a police official confirmed.
The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) officially replaced the British-era criminal laws nationwide at midnight. These new laws aim to prioritize justice over punishment.
The inaugural case in Chhattisgarh involved a complaint lodged by Itwari Pancheshwar against Golu Thakre for abuse and intimidation. Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai hailed July 1, 2024, as a historic day, emphasizing the government's commitment to justice and security.
