AGARTALA, Feb 24 (TIWN): Although Tripura DGP K Nagraj boosts a lot about decreasing crime against women and claimed that atleast 25 % crime reduction has been achieved by Tripura Police in 2015-16 but in a shocking revelation, it has been disclosed that there is no respite from torture against women and the crime against women only in January 2017 was total 58 and atleast 17 were rape cases.The report was not published by any opposition party, but when in the ongoing Assembly opposition MLA Ratan Lal Nath, Asish Saha and Sudip Roy Barman raised the question to the Home Ministry Dept, then from govt data, the dept. released the whole year's data. There was total 446 crime against women only in last 6 months. In July 2016 total 21 rape case were registered, in 2016 August total 22 cases, in 2016 Sept 19 cases, in 2016 Oct 16, November 15, December 18 and in January 17.Apart from that including all kinds of crime against women as dowry deaths, molestation etc. in July 2016 total cases registered 63, in 2016 August total 82 cases, in 2016 Sept 69 cases, in 2016 Oct 68, November 65, December 61 and in January 58.

Among them 130 rape cases among them 68 were minors and 47 were adults.

2014's crime rate at a glance : Rape : 240, Molestation : 492, Dowry tortures : 493, Kidnapping : 126, Dowry Deaths : 64.

2015's crime rate at a glance : Rape : 213, Molestation : 352, Dowry tortures : 348, Kidnapping : 152, Dowry Deaths : 61.

Moreover, among the accused 3482 people were arrested and 493 are eloping.

Amidst so many crimes happening in Tripura, ruling party's claim about peaceful state has no end. Tripura Commission for Women has received a new building at Melarmath, but with such buildings the files of crimes at police stations are also increasing radically.

Now it's clear how DGP Nagraj made a false data about crime rates of Tripura. According to Nagraj press release, “……….Cases related to torture upon women by husband or relatives of husband, has come down to 410 cases as against 466 in 2015 and 665 cases in 2014. Dowry death cases have come down to 15 as against 27 in 2015 and 35 (As Per Home Ministry's data in the Assembly 61) cases in 2014. Rape cases have come down to 189 during this year as against 197 (As Per Home Ministry's data in the Assembly 213) in 2015 and 225 in 2014. Molestation cases have come down to 202 as against 323 (As Per Home Ministry's data in the Assembly 352in 2015 and 437 in 2014.  Under remaining heads, it has come down to 55 cases during this year as against 98 in 2015 and 76 in 2014”.
