Gautam Buddh Nagar Police Commissioner Laxmi Singh announced Monday the launch of a public awareness campaign on new criminal laws aimed at expediting the justice delivery process. Singh stated that the initiative would involve discussions with lawyers and medical practitioners, among other legal system stakeholders.

The three new laws—Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA)—replace the British-era Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure, and Indian Evidence Act. The new laws address modern-day crimes and current social realities.

A first FIR under BNS was registered at Surajpur police station involving a case of document forgery related to bail. The police swiftly arrested five accused in the case.
