The New Indian Express Tirunelveli
|December 31, 2024
THE central government's National Informatics Centre (NIC) has said the FIR in the alleged rape of the Anna University student may have been leaked as it was not blocked due to technical glitches due to migration from Indian Penal Code (IPC) to Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS).
A letter issued by R Arul Mozhi Varman, senior director and scientist at NIC said the 'View FIR' page of the Tamil Nadu police has been implemented with a logic to block the viewing of FIRs under sensitive sections/subsections like the BNSS 64, 67, 68, 70 and 79 as per the list given by the State Crime Records Bureau (SCRB). Sources at Greater Chennai police have confirmed the authenticity of the letter.
