Kadapa district saw a decrease in crime rate in 2023, with a 29% decline in bodily offences & 14% dip in cybercrime cases.
Kadapa district witnessed a dip in crime rate in the year 2023 compared to 2022, said Superintendent of Police Siddharth Kaushal on December 30 (Saturday).
He said that the district saw a 29% decline in cases pertaining to bodily offences and a 30% decline in road accidents. Crime against women, property offences and cases of atrocities against SC/ST members also came down during the year, he said.
Mr. Kaushal observed that the enhanced vigil helped to keep a check on the smuggling of red sanders. Enhanced inter-State collaboration with border security and neighbouring State police forces also led to concerted efforts to clamp down on the menace. “There is a 14% dip in the number of cybercrime cases, 30% fall in road accident cases and a 6% fall in the number of cases of violence against women,” Mr. Kaushal told the media.
