Tripura CM Manik Saha bats for better implementation of new criminal laws, hopes it will push up conviction rate
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha Sunday described the three new criminal laws – Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS), Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam (BSA) – as victim-friendly. He expressed hope that the better implementation of these three laws would push up the conviction rate in the state. 'We have seen that these are friendly Acts. To implement criminal laws, the stakeholders are required to work in coordination and benefit the common people. I urge you all to cooperate with each other,' CM Saha said while addressing a workshop on 'New Criminal Laws and NDPS Act' held for legal practitioners, the police, and administrative officers at Pragya Bhavan in Agartala. 'I think this workshop is a step in this direction. Awareness is very important. People don't know about that. But every person should know these laws, and for this, I think, awareness campaigns should be done vigorously,' he added. 'These laws reflect a victim-friendly, technology-driven, and time-bound approach to justice delivery… The FIR (First Information Report) can be filed from anywhere, any part of the country, or across the state without being physically present in the police station and irrespective of the jurisdiction. The victims are entitled to have a free copy of their FIRs. Victims are to be informed about the status of their cases every 90 days…' said CM Saha.

Dehradun police books YouTuber for derogatory song targeting Uttarakhand women
DEHRADUN: Dehradun police has initiated legal action against a YouTuber accused of making derogatory remarks against the women of Uttarakhand, thereby hurting their honour. According to the police sources, YouTuber Pawan Semwal was summoned from Delhi to Dehradun for questioning in connection with a case registered following complaints from women. Semwal is alleged to have sung and broadcasted the controversial song on his YouTube channel, with the aim of spreading disrespect towards the women of Devbhoomi (Land of Gods). A spokesperson of Dehradun Police told, Pawan Semwal, using his Facebook ID, had broadcasted a song on a YouTube channel that contained objectionable comments, attempting to disrespect the modesty of Uttarakhandi women and daughters. "Following an initial outcry, the accused had previously removed the video from his YouTube channel. However, on Saturday, he allegedly re-propagated the same song on the same YouTube channel via his Facebook ID, making another attempt to publicly spread contempt against the women of Uttarakhand," spokesperson claimed. Distraught by the offensive song, a woman lodged a complaint at Kotwali Patel Nagar. Based on this complaint, a case was registered against Pawan Semwal under Sections 196, 353(1)(b), and 79 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Subsequently, a police team summoned the accused Pawan Semwal from Kalyanpuri Police Station in Delhi, as per due procedure. "After detailed questioning here, he was served a notice under Section 35(a) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) and safely released from the police station," a police official stated. "The accused has also been instructed to fully cooperate in future investigations." This action, according to the police, sends a clear message that "any kind of abusive comments or acts that hurt the honour on social media will not be tolerated."
