All is not well with Delhi. There is some turmoil or the other. It could be political, law and order or something of that sort. Delhi is in news all the time mostly for negative reasons. There is no proper relation between centre and Delhi. Most of the AAP legislators are in trouble. It is found out that a criminal case was registered almost every three minutes in the Capital last year, a 23 per cent jump from 2014.
Data provided by the National Crime Records Bureau for 2014 and 2015 and the Delhi Police for the same years show the crime graph climbing with each passing year.
But crimes that tormented a large number of people in the city were rising incidents of theft, robbery and kidnapping.With around 72,000 cases reported last year, incidents of theft shot up by almost 30 per cent compared with 2014.
But more worrisome were the increasing incidents of vehicle theft despite the best efforts of the police to check them. With 32,729 cases, vehicle thefts registered a 40 per cent increase from the previous year, NCRB data show.
With less than 10 per cent of the stolen vehicles recovered by the police, officers have gone on record to say that they will be unable to recover most stolen vehicles and that motorists must opt for their own security measures and insurance to protect or cover their cars and motorcycles.
