Section 302 no longer murder, 420 not cheating, 376 not rape as IPC evolves into BNS

With the arrival of new criminal laws under the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS), familiar sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) have undergone significant changes. Crimes once defined under well-known sections like 302, 420, and 376 have now been redefined, reflecting a modernised legal framework aimed at addressing contemporary challenges in criminal justice.
