Crime

Published

Cases the police registered in 2024, from the National Crime Records Bureau

Rape (section 376)
671 2.0/lakh women1
Child rape (POCSO 4 & 6)
3,2691
Murder
1,228 1.8/lakh2
Theft
22,396 32.8/lakh3
Robbery

A registered case is a complaint written down, not a finding of guilt. The Bureau warns against comparing states on these figures alone.

Records

Court findings and registers

Each record is a single documented case with its source. Records in one state are not connected to each other because they share a place.
