The people belonging to the armed forces play a crucial role by keeping their life at stake to protect their own nation. So, any offences made against or using armed forces members causes a major impact on our motherland.

For prevention of manufacturing the Indian government have constituted the law, THE WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION AND THEIR DELIVERY SYSTEMS (PROHIBITION OF UNLAWFUL ACTIVITIES) ACT, in 2005. This Act prohibits manufacturing, sale, transferring or usage of weapons that creates mass destruction. The paper revolves around the offences that are committed against armed forces and restriction on circulation and use of mass destruction causing weapons.
