In a significant development, the Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Lok Sabha has unveiled the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) Bill, designed to replace the age-old IPC. 


This fresh legislative proposal includes a specific clause dedicated to combatting instances of mob lynching, prescribing penalties that range from seven years of imprisonment to the ultimate punishment of death for those found culpable.


Amit Shah, the Union Home Minister, introduced three bills in the Lok Sabha to instigate a comprehensive transformation of the criminal justice system, and among them is the BNS Bill. Shah urged the Speaker of the Lok Sabha, Om Birla, to refer the trio of bills to the parliamentary standing committee for rigorous scrutiny of the proposed modifications.


Avoid Mob lynching
Mob lynching as a coordinated act of murder rooted in factors such as race, caste, religion, and more

Clause 101(2) of the BNS Bill offers a distinct explanation of mob lynching as a coordinated act of murder rooted in factors such as race, caste, religion, and more. Each participant within the group engaged in such actions would face substantial consequences, including the possibility of the death penalty, life imprisonment, or a mandatory minimum of seven years' imprisonment, coupled with a monetary fine. The introduction of the BNS Bill follows a string of notorious cases where individuals fell victim to unfounded rumors and allegations, resulting in their tragic lynching.


Mob Lynching
Mob Lynching is crime need to stop it

Repeatedly, experts have underscored the necessity for a dedicated legal framework tailored to effectively address mob lynching occurrences. The present IPC lacks precise provisions for instances of murder committed by a mob, frequently leading authorities to charge offenders under IPC's Section 302. The proposed provisions within the BNS Bill represent a comprehensive approach to tackling this severe concern, reflecting the government's resolute commitment to curbing mob-driven violence.
