NEW DELHI / AGARTALA, July 2 (TIWN): A significant change that has been brought under the new criminal laws in India will enable a person to file an FIR online from anywhere.

This notable provision allows individuals to report incidents electronically, eliminating the need to visit a police station physically.

The introduction of Zero FIR enables filing of an FIR at any police station, irrespective of jurisdiction, streamlining legal proceedings and ensuring prompt reporting of offenses.

Furthermore, individuals now have the right, upon arrest, to inform a chosen person about their situation, adding a crucial safeguard to their rights.
