Published by Webster

Are Chachi, Shree and Khiladi no longer 420 but 318/319? Following the announcement of 420 of the IPC being replaced by BNS 318, social media users have been pondering this question, wondering whether this means that “420 ho gaya” is no longer going to have the punch that it did in pop culture. As BNS 318/319 replace IPC 420, movies like Shree 420, Chachi 420 and Khiladi 420 have been trending on social media. When this was introduced in the Rajya Sabha in 2023, senior advocate and MP Mahesh Jethmalani said that he would miss this section, stating, “Section 420 is imprinted in our minds… It became part of Bollywood, and there was a movie with Raj Kapoor called Shree 420. Sometimes, we were admonished by our parents, who said, ‘Charsaubeesi maat karo’. We will miss that. This bill must bring about changes for the new generation. It has, and I welcome it.”    What is the update all about? “In 1860, the British introduced Section 420 of the IPC (Indian Penal Code), arguably the …

Office-goers had a difficult time reaching their workplaces as buses, taxis and cabs didn’t ply, abiding by the strike call. “The government only wants to blame drivers for any unfortunate incident even if they may not have committed the crime. Instead of improving road conditions, they are penalising the poor drivers,” said Ramen Das, the convenor of Assam Motor Worker Associations’ Joint Platform. “The new law on hit-and-run cases is anti-drivers and is against owners of vehicles. We call for a strike of all vehicles from 5 a.m. on January 5 to 5 a.m. on January 5 to press for our demand for withdrawal of the legislation,” Mr. Das said. “Talks with the officials of the State government on Thursday night (January 4) failed to make any headway,” he added.
