New criminal laws: Zero FIR, online complaints, videography of all crime scenes set to transform legal procedures

The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita 2023, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita 2023, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam 2023 represent a significant move towards empowering Indian citizens and aim to create a more accessible, supportive, and efficient justice system for all, according to official sources.

These new laws, enacted late last year, will replace the British-era Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Indian Evidence Act, respectively.

Under the new laws, individuals can report incidents via electronic communication, eliminating the need to visit a police station physically. This facilitates quicker reporting and prompt police action.

The introduction of Zero FIR allows anyone to file a First Information Report (FIR) at any police station, regardless of jurisdiction, eliminating delays in initiating legal proceedings and ensuring immediate reporting of offences.

Victims will receive a free copy of the FIR, ensuring their participation in the legal process.

One notable addition is that in the event of an arrest, the individual has the right to inform a person of their choice about their situation, ensuring immediate support and assistance. Arrest details will also be prominently displayed in police stations and district headquarters, providing families and friends with easy access to important information.

To strengthen investigations, forensic experts must now visit crime scenes for serious offences and collect evidence.
