One in every 14 persons in Delhi over the age of 18 years has faced crime, says a report released on Thursday by an NGO. According to the findings, crime against women in Delhi has been consistently high with 2,181 cases of rape and 3,969 cases of molestation reported in 2016. The report says the victims were women in 59.60% of the total kidnapping cases registered in 2016. Reacting to the report, Delhi Police spokesperson Dependra Pathak said that the number of households selected for the survey doesn’t give a true picture of the ground reality. The number of cases getting registered has gone up because complaints are getting registered online,” said Pathak.
