Data on cases of rape in India released by the NCRB has shown Delhi continues to top the list of cities where women are unsafe

New Delhi:
Crime data released by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) on Tuesday has once again revealed a rise in number of rape cases against women in the national capital. The total number of rape cases in India for the year 2014 stood at 37,413.

The data, which is collated by the bureau based on First Information Reports (FIRs) filed in police stations across the country, shows Delhi registered a total of 1813 cases of rape in the year 2014 as compared to 1441 in 2013 and 585 in 2012.

Post the 2012 Delhi gangrape case and the consequent protests, the number of reported rapes shot up from 585 in 2012 to 1441 in 2013, a 146 per cent jump, much of which has been attributed to victims coming forward and reporting incidents refusing to be cowed down by the attached ‘stigma’ and victim shaming.

A far second to Delhi was Mumbai, which reported a total of 607 cases of rape in 2014, as compared to 391 in 2013. Bengaluru followed with a 104 cases of rape. Chennai and Kolkata saw a drop in reported cases of rape in 2014. Chennai reported 65 cases as compared to 83 in 2013, while Kolkata reported 36 cases of rape as compared to 75 in 2013.
