Acid attack cases recorded, NCRB 2024
Registered acid attacks reach 6.13 per crore women in both West Bengal and Manipur, against 1.73 for India (1.67 in 2023). Fifteen states and territories registered none.
Policy implication
The counts are small, so one case moves a small state a long way. A higher figure can reflect easier reporting as well as more crime, so states should not be ranked on it.
