Theft most common crime in Delhi, shows NCRB data -Vijdan Mohammad Kawoosa

-Hindustan Times

According to NCRB data, of the 249,000 criminal cases filed by the state police in 2018, nearly 80% were related to theft; one-third of all thefts in India were in Delhi.

Theft is the most common crime committed in Delhi – of the 249,000 criminal cases filed by the state police in 2018, nearly 80% were related to theft — according to data given in the latest Crime in India report released by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) on Wednesday. Also, Delhi has a disproportionate share of such cases – one-third of all reported thefts in India occurred in Delhi, a city-state that is home to less than 2% of the country’s population (as per Census 2011).

Annual crime statistics of at least last 10 years show that the total number of criminal cases filed in Delhi and their share in total cases filed across India have been constantly rising – from about 50,000 cases (2.4% of all cases in India) in 2009 to 249,000 cases (7.9% of all cases in India) in 2018. Thefts are a major source of this upward trend.
