The Indian government has presented three redrafted bills in Parliament aiming to replace existing criminal laws. The Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita Bill, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam bills seek to replace the Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure Act, and Indian Evidence Act. Notable changes include the inclusion of "economic security" in the definition of terrorism. Home Minister Amit Shah stated the decision to reintroduce the bills was based on recommendations from the parliamentary standing committee. The proposed amendments also address issues like the publication of court proceedings revealing identities of victims.
