Rajasthan crime graph shows steady rise

The state that was considered one of the best for leading a secured life, could be heading for a separate path. With a population of six crore living in the state, it does not mark good to the state’s image when considering that the state stood on the fifth pedestal in the country in number of crimes committed in 2016. The statistics released by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) has  shocking facts about the law and order and crime in the state.

Interestingly, a dip has been registered in the incidences from 2014, 2015 and 2016. Where in 2014, a total of 2,10,418 incidences were registered, the same decreased in 2015 to 198080 incidences which in 2016 has further decreased to 180398 incidences. However, the state is still on the fifth pedestal in crimes in India.

Rajasthan is the eighth state in country with most murders with 1551 murders, the state stands 10th in attempts to commit murders (1632). It is also fifth in incidences of deaths by negligence with a whopping 9345 incidents.

WOMEN IN STATE

While a pandora’s box has been opened with the movie Padmawati and various social organisations have come out openly against the movie, citing honour of women in state, the statistics paint a grim picture for women in Rajasthan.  

Registering fourth most crimes against women in country, in 2016 a whopping 27422 incidents were reported against women in state. Notably, this is far below the numbers for the year 2014 wherein 31216 incidents were registered, third highest in country.
