Which statement accurately reflects the essence of the recently implemented Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (BNS) concerning hit-and-run cases?

The BNS replaced the outdated Indian Penal Code, introducing harsh penalties for drivers causing fatal accidents and fleeing the scene, with potential punishment of up to 10 years of imprisonment or a fine of Rs 7 lakh.

Under the BNS, drivers involved in accidents resulting in casualties due to negligence can only be fined without facing any imprisonment, encouraging reckless driving behavior.

The BNS allows drivers involved in hit-and-run accidents to escape legal consequences by reporting the incident to any official from the administration within 24 hours, thereby avoiding severe penalties.

According to the BNS, drivers responsible for fatal road accidents due to negligence can be penalized with a maximum of three years of imprisonment or a nominal fine, reflecting leniency towards such cases.
