Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, 2023; Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023; and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, 2023 are the three new criminal laws that go into effect today. With frequent discussions with States and Union Territories, the Indian government has ensured that they are properly prepared to implement the new Criminal Laws, particularly with regard to technology, capacity building, and raising awareness.
The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) has implemented 23 functional changes to the current Crime and Criminal Tracking Networks and Systems (CCTNS) application in response to the new Criminal Laws, which place a strong emphasis on the use of technology in investigation, trial, and court procedures. Additionally, it is offering the States and UTs technical support to ensure a smooth transition to the new system.
