Mumbai

Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay, is a major port city on India’s west coast and the financial, commercial, and entertainment capital of the country. Its modern history began when it was leased to the British East India Company in the 17th century, growing from a collection of seven islands into a global metropolis. The city is renowned for its vibrant street life, the iconic Gateway of India, and its massive Bollywood film industry.

Maharashtra

Maharashtra is a state in western India with a rich historical legacy, having been ruled by major dynasties like the Mauryas, Satavahanas, and Marathas. It is most famously known as the homeland of the 17th-century Maratha warrior-king Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj. Today, it is India’s economic powerhouse, home to the bustling capital Mumbai, and features significant cultural sites like the ancient rock-cut Ajanta and Ellora Caves.

Belapur

Belapur Fort is a historic hill fort located in Navi Mumbai, India, originally built by the Siddis in the 16th century. It was later captured and significantly rebuilt by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of the Maratha Empire, as part of his network of coastal forts. Today, the fort is a popular trekking destination, offering panoramic views and a glimpse into the region’s Maratha history.

Indian Penal Code

The Indian Penal Code (IPC) is the official criminal code of India, drafted in 1860 during British colonial rule. It came into force in 1862 and provides a comprehensive set of laws defining crimes and their punishments, forming the bedrock of the country’s substantive criminal law.

Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act

The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act (ITPA) is a key Indian legislation enacted in 1956 to combat human trafficking and sexual exploitation for commercial purposes. It was initially known as the Suppression of Immoral Traffic in Women and Girls Act (SITA) and was amended in 1986 to strengthen its provisions. The act aims to penalize traffickers and brothel keepers while also providing a legal framework for the protection and rehabilitation of victims.
