The first FIR under India's new criminal code, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, was officially registered at 12:10 am in Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh, for a motorcycle theft. This clarifies earlier reports that incorrectly claimed the first case was against a street vendor in Delhi. Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed the confusion, asserting that the initial case indeed involved a stolen motorcycle worth ₹1.80 lakh.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced on Monday that the newly implemented criminal laws in India mark the end of British-era legislation, transforming the criminal justice system into a completely 'Swadeshi' framework.

Today, with the implementation of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita, the first FIR was lodged against a street vendor for blocking a road close to the New Delhi Railway Station.

India is set to enter a new era in its legal system with the enforcement of three new criminal laws on Monday, July 1. These laws, named the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, and Bharatiya Sakshya Adhiniyam, will replace the colonial-era Indian Penal Code, Code of Criminal Procedure, and the Indian Evidence Act, respectively.

The rape laws in India do not apply equally to men and transgender persons, and as of July 1, the rape of men and transgender persons will not be considered a crime. 

The new laws guarantee free first-aid or medical treatment to victims of crimes against women and children at all hospitals.
