Registered cases over time

Ten years of registered cases
What police in India have registered as crimes against women since 2015, and what those figures can and cannot show.
What is being registered
Categories are NCRB heads, so shares add up to less than 100% (small heads such as murder with rape are left out). POCSO girl victims are counted separately from IPC/BNS rape from 2017.

Data freshness
Where cases are registered
Every state and union territory gets one equal tile, so small places are as visible as large ones.

Tile positions roughly follow the map of India; every state has the same size. Grey tiles have no data for that year.
Ranking
India among countries
Modelled estimates of partner violence from the UN SDG database, for 163 countries. They answer a different question from police records, so they sit on their own tab.

About this project
This is a personal portfolio project by Aindrila Das. It builds on an earlier women and child safety app idea and explores what public crime statistics can and cannot say. It is not an official product and is not affiliated with NCRB, the Government of India or any employer.
Data
Rates are cases registered per 100,000 women, using mid-year projected female population. The latest edition, Crime in India 2024 (released 6 May 2026), is the newest official release; there is no 2025 edition yet. Case counts for 2022, 2023 and 2024 were checked against NCRB's own Table 3A.1 and match for every state and UT. Earlier years come from a public compilation of the NCRB tables and reconcile exactly between state and national totals.
What the numbers cannot tell you
- Under-reporting. Many incidents are never reported or registered. Survey data such as NFHS-6 (22.3% of ever-married women aged 18-49 reported spousal violence at some point) points to far more violence than police records show.
- Registration practice differs by state. A state with a high rate may be registering more of what is reported. Sharp one-year swings in some states (see the States tab and the policy brief) are more likely to be administrative than real.
- Series breaks. POCSO girl victims are counted from 2017, and rape of minors moved out of IPC rape, so some 2016 to 2017 comparisons are not like for like.
- Counts are cases, not victims, and there is no district or individual-level data here by design.
Three kinds of evidence, kept apart
- Police records (NCRB): cases registered, Overview, States and Compare.
- Surveys (NFHS-6): what women report, shown beside the state detail, never added to the police series.
- Global estimates (UN SDG 5.2.1, WHO): modelled, on the World tab, with different definitions.
- Recent updates on their own tab are a hand-picked, non-official reading list and feed none of the charts.
