Three new criminal laws have come into force in India from July 1 today. These include the Indian Code of Justice (BNS), the Indian Civil Defense Code (BNSS) and the Indian Evidence Act (BSA). The special thing is that these new laws have been implemented first in Uttar Pradesh. The first police report has been registered in UP under the new law.

The first case in Uttar Pradesh under the Indian Code of Justice, which came into force from today, has been registered in Amroha. This case has been registered under Section 106 of the Indian Code of Justice (BNS). According to information received from the police, this case has been registered against Rajveer alias Rajju and Bhoop Singh alias Golu under sections of death in an accident. An FIR was registered against them at 9:51 am in Rehra police station of Amroha.

Sanjay Singh of village Dhakiya Khadar has lodged a police report in the case of the death of his father Jagpal. Sanjay Singh's father died due to electric current from the electric wire installed in the field of the accused. Jagpal died of electric shock while working in the field at 6.30 am on July 1.

This is how the first FIR was registered

Sanjay Singh, a resident of Thana Rahra in Amroha district, gave a complaint to the police that his father Jagpal alias Mangala had gone to transplant paddy in his field at around 6.30 am on July 1. Rajveer's sugarcane field is adjacent to his field. Rajveer and his son Bhoop Singh have installed electric wires in the field, whose current keeps spreading in the field. His father got caught in the current spread due to these wires. The father was immediately taken to a private hospital for treatment, where the doctors declared him dead during treatment.

Let us tell you that these three laws were passed by the Parliament in December 2023. These new laws have replaced the criminal laws of the colonial era in India since independence. The government had said about these new laws, “These are laws made by Indians, for India…”

Section 69 of the Indian Penal Code (BNS) 2024 provides for punishment in case of fraudulent sexual intercourse. It states, “Whoever has sexual intercourse with a woman by ‘fraudulent means’ or by making a promise to marry her (with no intention of fulfilling it), shall be punishable with imprisonment of up to 10 years and with fine…” ‘Fraudulent means’ includes false promise of employment or promotion, exerting pressure in any manner or marrying by concealing the real identity.
