<h1>Section 184: Prompt Medical Exam Required for Rape Victims Within 24 Hours, Consent Mandatory for Lawful Procedure</h1> Section 184 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, mandates that during the investigation of a rape or attempted rape, the victim must undergo a medical examination by a registered medical practitioner within 24 hours of reporting the crime. This examination requires the victim's consent and must be conducted by a practitioner employed in a government or local authority hospital, or otherwise by any registered practitioner. The examination report must include the victim's details, injuries, and materials for DNA profiling, and be forwarded to the investigating officer within seven days. Consent is crucial, and examinations without consent are not lawful.
