MoS Home reply in Lok Sabha reveals that there were a total of over 2.76 lakh cases of rioting across the country during this five-year period.

New Delhi: The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) on Tuesday said in the Lok Sabha that there were as many as 3,399 cases of communal or religious rioting in the country in the five year period from 2016 to 2020. Overall, it said there were over 2.76 lakh cases of rioting during this period.

The information on the scale of rioting witnessed in the country was provided by Union minister of state Nityanand Rai in response to a question raised by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor and BJP MP Chandra Prakash Joshi.

The two MPs asked whether the government has maintained a record of the riots and lynchings that have taken place in the country in recent years; and the details of such incidents in Rajasthan as also the whole of India.

In his written reply, Rai said “in the ‘Crime in India’ report, the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) publishes crime data from all the States/Union Territories under various crime heads which are defined under the Indian Penal Code and Special and Local Laws.” However, the minister added that “no separate data for mob lynching is maintained by NCRB.”

As for the details of cases of rioting and those that can be classified as “communal/religious” in nature, the minister provided year-wise details from 2016 to 2020.
