Gwalior's Hazira police station has registered India's inaugural FIR under the newly implemented Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS). The landmark case, involving the theft of a motorcycle valued at Rs 1.80 lakh, was confirmed by Gwalior SP Dharamveer Singh.

Filed under section 303(2) of BNS, the case quickly gained attention. The complainant, Sourabh Narwaria, reported his vehicle stolen from outside his residence. Union Home Minister Amit Shah clarified that this case was the first under the new law, debunking earlier rumors about a street vendor in Delhi.

By 5 PM Monday, Madhya Pradesh police had lodged a total of 15 FIRs under the BNS. The Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA), replacing outdated British-era laws, came into force on July 1.
