In his address, the Union Home Minister also spoke about the government’s plan to set up branches of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in every State.
In May 2020, the Home Ministry constituted a 5-member committee to recommend criminal law reforms for India. The Committee is chaired by the Vice Chancellor of the National Law University, Delhi, Prof (Dr) Ranbir Singh.
When the Committee was formed, lawyers, former judges, and academicians alike had expressed concerns over its lack of diversity and transparency. In response, the Committee said that it respects all opinions and suggestions made to it and that it would upload all relevant updates on its website in the interest of transparency.
