Newdelhi:1/7/24:Union Home Minister Amit Shah has said that the three criminal laws, which came into effect today, will lead to the country’s most modern criminal justice system. He said the criminal justice system is now completely ‘Swadeshi’ and embedded in Indian ethos after independence. Briefing media in New Delhi about the three criminal laws, Mr. Shah said the new laws will ensure speedy justice and victim’s rights.  He added that earlier, only the rights of the Police were protected but now, victims’ and complainants’ rights will also be protected.
