He said crime rates were not solely dependent on heavy punishment, and there was no study proving that death penalty was the best measure to prevent crimes. Ramkarpal said the bill was an ‘omnibus’ act as it included amendments to the penal code, Firearms Act 1971, Arms Act 1960, Kidnapping Act 1961, Dangerous Drugs Act 1952, Strategic Trade Act 2010 and Criminal Procedure Code.
