AGARTALA, Dec 2 (TIWN): With much enthusiasm the new building of Tripura Commission for Women has been decorated which will be inaugurated by Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar on Friday 3 PM.

Recently Chief Minister Manik Sarkar has claimed that Tripura must have the highest literacy rate among women in whole country, but CM didn't mention that Tripura stands 4rth in overall the country in crime against women. 

In National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) report says that Tripura ranked 4th especially in crime against women. National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) report in the month of August says that Tripura ranked 4th in crime against women. According to the NCRB data, in year 2014, rape incidents recorded in the state were 239, dowry death recorded were 33, sexual harassment cases were 82, cruelty by in-laws were 702 cases.The report also states that the rate of crime against women in Tripura is 88, while the national average is 56.3. 

However, it’s to be mentioned that in every 2 days a woman/girl is raped/murdered in Tripura.                  

Moreover, hundreds of rapes are happening every month which are not even reported to Police.

2.Assam:        (123.4 % rate)
