Year after year, there is discrepancy between the data on communal incidents reported by the Home Ministry & the NCRB. In this story, we look the numbers, the discrepancies and the way forward.

After a delay of 1.5 years, the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) has recently published Crime in India-2017 report.  The report furnishes the statistics of the various crimes committed in India during 2017.
