3 criminal laws framed with spirit of 'citizen first, dignity first and justice first': PM Modi
The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita and the Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam have been enacted recently to replace the Indian Penal Code-1860, the Code of Criminal Procedure-1898 and the Indian Evidence Act of 1872, respectively. The prime minister said these new laws were a paradigm shift in India's criminal justice system.
