Posters put up at various police stations in Delhi to create awareness on new criminal laws

New criminal laws in India have taken effect, and posters have been put up in police stations to inform the public. The Indian Penal Code, CrPC, and Indian Evidence Act have been replaced with Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagrik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, respectively. These new codes introduce significant changes, including new crimes, increased penalties, and provisions for crimes against women and children. Terrorism is now explicitly defined and heavily penalized. Victims' rights have been enhanced, ensuring free access to FIRs and updates on investigations.
