The Centre on Friday introduced three bills in the Lok Sabha for a complete overhaul of the criminal laws, originating in the colonial era, to include maximum punishment for crimes. Punishment for rape is imprisonment for a term not less than ten years that may be extended to imprisonment for life while punishment for gang-rape can be 20 years in jail to a life term. There is provision for imprisonment for sexual intercourse on false promise of marriage, retaining death sentence and also a new offence of endangering sovereignty unity and integrity of India, instead of sedition.
