July 1st 2024.
On Monday, a significant development took place in the city of Bhubaneswar, as Odisha Police registered its first FIR under the new criminal code, the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. This came after a private firm employee reported being threatened by an individual, prompting the authorities to take action.
The implementation of three new criminal laws on Monday marked a major change in India's criminal justice system. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam have replaced the outdated British-era Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Indian Evidence Act, respectively.
The FIR was filed at Laxmisagar police station in Bhubaneswar, based on a complaint filed by the victim's son, Rudra Prasad Das. The FIR, which has been obtained by PTI, stated that three individuals attacked Rudra's father, Gouranga Charan Das, with a blade near Chintamaniswar temple at around 8:15 pm on June 29. The case has been registered under Sections 126, 115, 109, 118, and 3 of the BNS, and the investigation has been assigned to SI G Saha by the Inspector-in-charge of Laxmisagar police station, P Shyam Sundar Rao.
Rao explained that the accused had been threatening Gouranga for several days before finally attacking him with a blade on June 29. The victim's son, Rudra, also reported that the miscreants had continued to threaten his father on Monday, which led him to file an FIR. Upon receiving the complaint, the authorities took swift action and registered a case against the accused under the new law.
This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of the new criminal code and its potential to bring about positive changes in the justice system. With the implementation of these new laws, the safety and security of individuals will be prioritized, and any acts of violence or criminal behavior will be dealt with accordingly.
