Rape cases recorded, NCRB 2024
Registered rape cases run from 0.8 per lakh women in Ladakh to 16.6 in Chandigarh. The India figure is 4.3, from 4.4 in 2023.
Policy implication
Rape of girls is mostly booked under the POCSO Act, so this map does not hold every rape case. A higher figure can reflect easier reporting as well as more crime, so states should not be ranked on it.
