Names of sex offenders uploaded on police website

-The Indian Express


A list containing details of those convicted of sexual offences in Delhi in the past three decades is now available online. Delhi Police officers said the move will help people identify the accused and prompt them to register complaints. This will help police track unreported sexual offences.

The move is in line with the recommendations of the Justice Verma committee, constituted in the aftermath of the December 16 gangrape incident in the national capital.

On the Delhi Police website, the list shows 664 persons convicted of sexual offences. These are persons convicted of serious sexual offences, such as rape and molestation, from 1983 to 2013. The details published include their names, names of their parents, addresses and case details, which include the FIR number, police station where the incident took place, and the Indian Penal Code sections under which they were charged.

Senior police officers said: "The move has come after a government directive that seeks to deter sexual criminals from relapsing and committing similar offences post-conviction. Due to the fact that on occasion these cases are recurrent, the objective is also to provide adequate information to those residing in and around the vicinity of these persons to keep themselves safe."

An officer said the move is part of a larger project to upload crime records online. "The project is part of a national project that is being undertaken under the aegis of the National Crime Records Bureau. More of these records will be updated," the officer said.
