NEW DELHI: The central government on Tuesday informed the Parliament that India witnessed 3,399 cases of communal or religious rioting during the period 2016-2020.

MoS home affairs Nityanand Rai made the disclosure in response to a question posed by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and BJP MP Chandra Prakash Joshi. The lawmakers sought to know whether the government maintained a record of the riots and lynching that have taken place in the country in recent years.

Citing reports of the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), Rai said 857 communal or religious riot cases were registered in 2020, 438 in 2019, 512 in 2018, 723 in 2017 and 869 in 2016.
