The Centre introduced three bills in the Lok Sabha on Friday to revamp the legal framework of India's criminal justice system. One of the bills is the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) 2023, aimed at replacing the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC). The proposed changes include technological overhauls like video conferencing trials to the much-needed witness protection system to protect witnesses in high-profile crimes.
