In a significant move, the Delhi Police has initiated awareness sessions at over 100 police stations to educate the public about three newly enacted criminal laws, which have replaced the older colonial-era legal framework.
The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) came into effect on Monday, superseding the Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure, and Indian Evidence Act, respectively.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (outer) Jimmy Chiram highlighted that understanding these changes will help citizens navigate the justice system more effectively, contributing to a more just society. Participants, including residents and professionals, praised the initiative's role in enhancing legal awareness.
