Chandigarh, Oct 1 (PTI) Haryana Director General of Police (DGP) Shatrujeet Kapur on Wednesday said that there has been a decline in crime rate against women in the state. Compared to 2014, the population has grown substantially, yet the decline in crimes against women reflects both strict policing and a sensitive approach, the DGP said. While touching upon the National Crime Records Bureau's (NCRB's) 'Crime in India 2023' report, he said in 2023, 2,24,216 FIRs were registered in the state, placing Haryana at the fourth position in the country in terms of FIR registrations. Excluding them, the actual crime rate drops significantly, placing Haryana well below the top 10 states nationally, he said. As a result, large numbers of power theft cases started being detected.
