crimeNew Delhi:A total of 182,644 cases of crimes were reported in the national capital in 2015, up from 155,654 in 2014 – a 17.33 percent rise, according to Delhi Police’s annual report released on Monday.

Of all the crime cases, only 27 percent (49,903 cases) were solved.

Delhi Police Commissioner B.S. Bassi said 2015 had been “very satisfying as our initiative to lodge maximum number of First Information Report (FIRs) has been satisfactory.

“From goat theft to stealing of Rs.20, we registered every relevant FIR. It is really satisfactory as per the expectation of people of Delhi,” Bassi told the media at the annual press conference.

The annual report shows that the complaints of non-registration of FIRs saw a substantial decline compared to 2014 and 2013.

“As a result, the registered IPC (Indian Penal Code) crime rose to 80,184 in 2013, 155,654 in 2014 and 182,644 in 2015 (up to Dec 15),” Bassi said in its introductory comments.

“Along with truthful registration comes the onus of prevention and detection of crime, and Delhi Police has given an excellent account in this regard.”

A total of 49,903 IPC cases, including 6,328 heinous ones, were solved in 2015 as compared to 43,431, including 5,784 heinous cases, in the previous year, Bassi said.

“Almost all sensational cases were solved in record time.”

Participants showed exceptional determination, emphasizing unity in diversity. Despite challenging weather, they demonstrated the power of community support, highlighting the need for accessibility and inclusion in all state-level events in Goa.

Following the marathon, a gathering of differently-abled individuals, predominantly wheelchair users, convened for a celebratory lunch at Barzilla. The event, orchestrated by Mr. Shariq Khan and Mr. Zain Aftab, proprietors of Barzilla, honored the birthday of Sadaf Fatima, who also uses a wheelchair and is Mr. Shariq Khan’s wife.

 

The lunch featured esteemed guests including the Tourism Minister of Goa, MLA Rohan Khaunte of Porvorim, Social Welfare Minister Subhash Phal Desai, and the State Commissioner for Persons with Disability in Goa, Guruprasad Pawaskar.
