50% Rape Charges In Rajasthan False: Ashok Gehlot
NDTV
According to the National Crime Records Bureau-2021 report, Rajasthan ranks second after Uttar Pradesh in overall crimes against women.
After the NCRB fared Rajasthan among the states with the highest crime rate against women, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Friday said the high numbers were due to compulsory registration of FIRs in every case even though half of them later turned out to be false.
During a programme at the Rajasthan Police Academy here, the chief minister directed the director general of police to take action against those who registered false rape cases in order to discourage such a practice.
According to the National Crime Records Bureau-2021 report, Rajasthan ranks second after Uttar Pradesh in overall crimes against women, while it tops the list in cases of rape. The state is in a comparatively "better position" in terms of safety of minor girls.
Mr Gehlot, however, said the report clearly mentions that 'rise in crime' and 'increase in registration of crime by police' are "two different things" and asked critics to base their points on facts.
