Cases of rape, molestation down in Delhi this year -Raj Shekhar

-The Times of India

NEW DELHI: Crime against women seems to have reduced in the capital this year. According to figures released by Delhi Police, 836 cases of rape have been reported till May 31 compared with 924 in the same period last year. Molestation cases have gone down from 1,841 to 1,412.

The trend is attributed to a slew of measures taken by police commissioner Amulya Patnaik. These include deploying women patrol teams in markets, placing women officers in key posts and holding self-defence classes.

Heinous crimes such as murder and robberies have also declined: 1,293 robberies have been registered till May 31 compared with 2,374 in the first five months of 2016. The corresponding figures in case of murders are 205 and 206.
