Crimes against women[edit source | editbeta] 

7/27/2019 crimes in india

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/crimes-in-india 5/15

Main article:  Women in India  

Police records show high incidence of crimes against women in India. The National

Crime Records Bureau reported in 1998 that the growth rate of crimes against women

would be higher than the population growth rate by 2010.[6]

 Earlier, many cases werenot registered with the police due to the social stigma attached to rape and

molestation cases. Official statistics show that there has been a dramatic increase in

the number of reported crimes against women.[6] 

Prostitution[edit source | editbeta] 

Rape[edit source | editbeta] 

Main article:  Rape in India  

Rape in India has been described by Radha Kumar as one of India's most common

crimes against women.[7] Official sources show that rape cases in India has doubled

between 1990 and 2008[8] In most of the Rape cases, the culprit is known to the

victim.

Gang Rape[edit source | editbeta] 

In late December, 2012, international attention was called to a case of a 23-year-old

Indian woman (Also called as NIRBHAYA case/ AMANAT case) was assaulted and gang

raped on a bus(incident took place on 16 December,2012), resulting in her eventual

death in a hospital days later. Mass protests stemming from the case called intoquestion the cultural violence towards women and the failure of the government to

solve the problem. The problem was compounded by politicians making sexist and

misogynistic comments[9] 

Sexual Harassment[edit source | editbeta] 

Half of the total number of crimes against women reported in 1990 related to

molestation and harassment at the workplace.[6] Eve teasing is a euphemism used for

sexual harassment or molestation of women by men. Many activists blame the rising

incidents of sexual harassment against women on the influence of "Western culture".

In 1987, The Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act was passed[10] to

prohibit indecent representation of women through advertisements or in

publications, writings, paintings, figures or in any other manner.

In 1997, in a landmark judgement, the Supreme Court of India took a strong stand

against sexual harassment of women in the workplace. The Court also laid down

detailed guidelines for prevention and redressal of grievances. The National

Commission for Women subsequently elaborated these guidelines into a Code of 

Conduct for employers.[6]

Dowry[edit source | editbeta] 

Main articles:  Dowry  and  Dowry law in India  

In 1961, the Government of India passed the Dowry Prohibition Act,[11] making the

dowry demands in wedding arrangements illegal. However, many cases of dowry-

related domestic violence, suicides and murders have been reported. In the 1980s,

numerous such cases were reported. However, recent reports show that the number of 

these crimes have reduced drastically.[12] 

In 1985, the Dowry Prohibition (maintenance of lists of presents to the bride and

bridegroom) rules were framed.[13] According to these rules, a signed list of presents

given at the time of the marriage to the bride and the bridegroom should be

maintained. The list should contain a brief description of each present, its

approximate value, the name of whoever has given the present and his/her

relationship to the person.

A 1997 report[14] claimed that at least 5,000 women die each year because of dowry

deaths, and at least a dozen die each day in 'kitchen fires' thought to be intentional.

The term for this is "bride burning" and is criticised within India itself. Amongst the

urban educated, such dowry abuse has reduced dramatically.

Child Marriage[edit source | editbeta] 

Child marriage has been traditionally prevalent in India and continues to this day.Young girls live with their parents until they reach puberty. In the past, the child

widows were condemned to a life of great agony, shaving heads, living in isolation,

and shunned by the society.[15] Although child marriage was outlawed in 1860, it is

still a common practice.[16] 

According to UNICEF's “State of the World's Children-2009” report, 47% of India's

women aged 20 – 24 were married before the legal age of 18, with 56% in rural

areas.[17] The report also showed that 40% of the world's child marriages occur in

India.[18]

 

Female infanticides and sex selective abortions[editsource | editbeta] 

Main article:  Sex-selective abortion and infanticide  

India has a highly masculine sex ratio, the chief reason being that many women die

before reaching adulthood.[6] Tribal societies in India have a less masculine sex ratio

than all other castegroups. This, in spite of the fact that tribal communities have far

lower levels of income, literacy and health facilities.[6] It is therefore suggested by

7/27/2019 crimes in india

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/crimes-in-india 7/15

many experts, that the highly masculine sex ratio in India can be attributed to female

infanticides and sex-selective abortions.

All medical tests that can be used to determine the sex of the child have been banned

in India, due to incidents of these tests being used to get rid of unwanted femalechildren before birth. Female infanticide (killing of girl infants) is still prevalent in

some rural areas.[6] The abuse of the dowry tradition has been one of the main reasons

for sex-selective abortions and female infanticides in India.

Domestic violence[edit source | editbeta] 

The incidents of domestive violence are higher among the lower Socio-Economic

Classes (SECs). There are various instances of an inebriated husband beating up the

wife often leading to severe injuries. Domestic violence is also seen in the form of 

physical abuse. The Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 came

into force on 26 October 2006. THE DOSME SDC

Illegal drug trade[edit source | editbeta] 

India is located between two major illicit opium producing centres in Asia –  

the Golden Crescent comprising Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran and the Golden

Triangle comprising Burma, Thailand and Laos.[19] Because of such geographical

location, India experiences large amount of drug trafficking through the

borders.[20]

 India is the world's largest producer of licit opium for the pharmaceuticaltrade.[21] But an undetermined quantity of opium is diverted to illicit international

drug markets.[21] 

India is a transshipment point for heroin from Southwest Asian countries like

Afghanistan and Pakistan and from Southeast Asian countries like Burma, Laos, and

Thailand.[22] Heroin is smuggled from Pakistan and Burma, with some quantities

transshipped through Nepal.[22] Most heroin shipped from India are destined for

Europe.[22] There have been reports of heroin smuggled fromMumbai to Nigeria for

further export.[22]

 

In Maharashtra, Mumbai is an important centre for distribution of drug.[23] The most

commonly used drug in Mumbai is Indian heroin (called desi mal by the local

population).[23] Both public transportation (road and rail transportation) and private

transportation are used for this drug trade.[23] 

Drug trafficking affects the country in many ways.

  Drug abuse: Cultivation of illicit narcotic substances and drug trafficking affects

the health of the individuals and destroy the economic structure of the family and

society.[24]

  Organized crime: Drug trafficking results in growth of organised crime which

affects social security. Organised crime connects drug trafficking with corruption

and money laundering.[24] 

  Political instability: Drug trafficking also aggravates the political instability

in North-West and North-East India.[25] 

A survey conducted in 2003 – 2004 by Narcotics Control Bureau found that India has

at least four million drug addicts.[26] The most common drugs used in India

are cannabis, hashish, opium and heroin.[26] In 2006 alone, India's law enforcing

agencies recovered 230 kg heroin and 203 kg of  cocaine.[27] In an annual government

report in 2007, the United States named India among 20 major hubs for trafficking of 

illegal drugs along with Pakistan, Afghanistan and Burma. However, studies reveal

that most of the criminals caught in this crime are either Nigerian or US nationals.[28] 

Several measures have been taken by the Government of India to combat drug

trafficking in the country. India is a party of the Single Convention on Narcotic

Drugs (1961), the Convention on Psychotropic Substances (1971), the Protocol

Amending the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs (1972) and the United Nations

Convention Against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic

Substances (1988).[29] An Indo-Pakistani committee was set up in 1986 to prevent

trafficking in narcotic drugs.[30] India signed a convention with the United Arab

Emirates in 1994 to control drug trafficking.[30] In 1995, India signed an agreement

with Egypt for investigation of drug cases and exchange of information and a

Memorandum of Understanding of the Prevention of Illicit Trafficking in Drugs

with Iran.[30] 

Arms trafficking[edit source | editbeta] 

According to a joint report published by Oxfam, Amnesty International and

the International Action Network on Small Arms (IANSA) in 2006, there are around 40

million illegal small arms in India out of approximately 75 million in worldwide

circulation.[31] Majority of the illegal small arms make its way into the states of  Bihar, 

Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Orissa and Madhya Pradesh.[31] In India, a

used AK-47 costs $3,800 in black market.[32] Large amount of illegal small arms are

manufactured in various illegal arms factories in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and sold on

the black market for as little as $5.08.[31] 

Chinese pistols are in demand in the illegal small arms market in India because they

are easily available and cheaper.[31] This trend poses a significant problem for the

states of Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Orissa, Maharashtra, West

Bengal, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh which have influence of  Naxalism.[31] The

7/27/2019 crimes in india

porous Indo-Nepal border is an entry point for Chinese pistols, AK-47 and M-16

rifles into India as these arms are used by the Naxalites who have ties to Maoists in

Nepal.[31] 

In North-East India, there is a huge influx of small arms due to the insurgent groupsoperating there.[33] The small arms in North-East India come from insurgent groups in

Burma, black market inSouth-East Asian countries like Pakistan, 

Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka, black market in Cambodia, the People's Republic of 

China, insurgent groups like the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, the Communist

Party of India (Maoist), the Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist), Indian states

like Uttar Pradesh and pilferages from legal gun factories, criminal organisations

operating in India and South Asian countries and other international markets

like Romania, Germany etc.[33] The small arms found in North-East India are M14

rifle, M16 rifle, AK-47, AK-56, AK-74, light machine guns, Chinese hand

grenades, mines, rocket-propelled grenades, submachine guns etc.[33] 

The Ministry of External Affairs and Ministry of Home Affairs drafted a joint proposal

to the United Nations, seeking a global ban on small-arms sales to non-state users.[31] 

Poaching and wildlife trafficking[edit source | editbeta] 

Illegal wildlife trade in India has increased.[34] According to a report published by

the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) in 2004, India is the chief target for

the traders of wildlife skin.[35]Between 1994 and 2003, there have been 784 cases

where the skins of tiger, leopard or otter have been

seized.[35] Leopards, rhinoceros, reptiles, birds, insects, rare species of plants are

being smuggled into the countries in Southeast Asia and the People's Republic of 

China.[34] Between 1994 and 2003, poaching and seizure of 698 otters have been

documented in India.[35] 

Kathmandu is a key staging point for illegal skins smuggled from India bound

for Tibet and PRC.[35] The report by EIA noted there has been a lack of cross-border

cooperation between India,Nepal and the People's Republic of China to coordinate

enforcement operations and lack of political will to treat wildlife crime

effectively.[35] The poaching of the elephants is a significant problem in Southern

India[36] and in the North-Eastern states of  Nagaland and Mizoram.[37] The majority of 

tiger poaching happen in Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Orissa, West

Bengal, Assam andArunachal Pradesh.[38] Following is a comparison of reported cases

of tiger and leopard poaching from 1998 to 2003:

Samir Sinha, head of  TRAFFIC India, the wildlife trade monitoring arm of the World

Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and the World Conservation Union (IUCN), told Reuters in

an interview "The situation regarding the illegal trade in wildlife parts in India is very

grim. It is a vast, a varied trade ranging from smuggling of rare medicinal plants to

butterflies to peafowl to tigers and it is difficult to predict how big it is, but the

threats and dimensions suggest that the trade is increasing".[34] 

Project Tiger, a wildlife conservation project, was initiated in 1972 and was launched

by Indira Gandhi on 1 April 1973.[40] With 23 tiger reserves, Project Tiger claimed to

have succeeded.[40] But according to critics like conservationist Billy Arjan Singh,

temporary increases in tiger population were caused by immigration due to

destruction of habitat in Nepal, not because of the widely acclaimed success of 

wildlife policy in India.[40] 

Cyber crime[edit source | editbeta] 

Cases of  spam, computer hacking, cyber stalking and email fraud are rampant in

India.[41] The Information Technology Act 2000 was passed by the Parliament of 

India in May 2000, aiming to curb cyber crimes and provide a legal framework for e-

commerce transactions.[42] However Pavan Duggal, lawyer of  Supreme Court of 

India and cyber law expert, viewed "The IT Act, 2000, is primarily meant to be a

legislation to promote e-commerce. It is not very effective in dealing with several

emerging cyber crimes like cyber harassment, defamation, stalking and so

on".[41]Although cyber crime cells have been set up in major cities, Duggal noted the

problem is that most cases remain unreported due to a lack of awareness.[41] 

In 2001, India and United States had set up an India-US cyber security forum as part

of a counter-terrorism dialogue.[43] In 2006, India and the US agreed to enhance

cooperation between law enforcement agencies of the two countries in tackling cyber

crimes as part of counter-terrorism efforts.[43] A joint US-India statement released in

2006 after talks between US President George W. Bush and Indian prime

minister Manmohan Singh stressed that in view of the importance of cyber security

and cyber forensic research, the two countries are also carrying out discussions on a

draft protocol on cyber security.[43] 

Corruption and police misconduct[edit source | editbeta] 

7/27/2019 crimes in india

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/crimes-in-india 11/15

Main article:  Corruption in India  

Corruption is widespread in India. It is prevalent within every section and every level

of the society.[44] Corruption has taken the role of a pervasive aspect of Indian

politics.[45]

 In India, corruption takes the form of bribes, evasion of  tax and exchangecontrols, embezzlement, etc.

Despite state prohibitions against torture and custodial misconduct by the

police, torture is widespread in police custody, which is a major reason behind deaths

in custody.[46][47] The police often torture innocent people until a 'confession' is

obtained to save influential and wealthy offenders.[48] G.P. Joshi, the programme

coordinator of the Indian branch of the Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative in

New Delhi comments that the main issue at hand concerning police violence is a lack

of accountability of the police.[49]

 

In 2006, the Supreme Court of India in a judgment in the Prakash Singh vs. Union of 

India  case, ordered central and state governments with seven directives to begin the

process of police reform. The main objectives of this set of directives was twofold,

providing tenure to and streamlining the appointment/transfer processes of 

policemen, and increasing the accountability of the police.[50] 

In 2006, seven policemen were charge sheeted and eleven were convicted [3] for

custodial misconduct. Jan Lokpal Bill is being planned to reduce the corruption.[51] 

Crimes against foreigners in India[edit source | editbeta] 

There are some instances of  violent crime against foreigners in India.[52] Scams

involving export of jewels occur in India, which target foreign citizens.[52] Traveling

alone in remote areas after dark is of particular risk to foreigners.[53] 

Because the American, Canadian and British citizens' purchasing power is relatively

large compared to the general Indian population, they are the preferred target for

robbery and other serious crime.[54] 

In April 1999, Swaraj Damree, a tourist from Mauritius was befriended by a group of 

Indians who later held him in 25 days of captivity. They robbed him of cash

amounting to US $1,500, took his travellers' cheques, wrist watch, gold chain,

bracelet, two bags and suitcase.[55] In 2000, two German trekkers were shot

in Himachal Pradesh. A few weeks later, two Spanish tourists were killed in Himachal

Pradesh by robbers.[56] Many foreign tourists are victims of violent crime

in Kolkata.[57] In September 2006, criminals robbed the wallet of a British woman in

Kolkata.[57] The same month, a Japanese tourist was robbed on his way to Sudder

Street.[57] In October 2006, a foreigner was robbed in daylight on Park Street.[57]

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/crimes-in-india 12/15

Petty crime[edit source | editbeta] 

Petty crime, like pickpocketing, bag snatching etc. is widespread in India. Theft of 

foreigners' valuables from luggage on trains and buses is common. Travelers who are

not in groups become easy victims of pickpockets and purse snatchers. Pursesnatchers work in crowded areas.[58] 

Passport theft[edit source | editbeta] 

In India, stealing passports of foreigners from their luggage on trains and buses is

widespread.[52] Theft of  U.S. passports is very common, especially in major tourist

areas.[54][59] 

Confidence tricks[edit source | editbeta] 

Many scams are perpetrated against foreign travellers, especially in Jaipur, the

capital of  Rajasthan.[54] Scammers usually target younger foreign tourists and suggest

to them that money can be made by privately transporting gems or gold, or by taking

delivery abroad of expensive carpets, avoiding customs duties.[54] 

Such incidents occupy the traveller for several days. The traveller is then passed to a

new scam artist who offers to show the foreign traveller the sights. Scam artists also

offer cheap lodgings and meals to foreign travellers so they can place him or her in

the scam artist's physical custody and thus make the foreigner vulnerable to threats

and physical coercion. In the process, the foreigner loses his passport.[54]

 

Taxi scam[edit source | editbeta] 

There are also taxi scams present in India, whereby a foreign traveller, who is not

aware of the locations around Indian airports, is taken for a ride round the whole

airport and charged for full-fare taxi ride while the terminal is only few hundred yards

away.[58] Overseas Security Advisory Council in a report mentioned the process about

how to avoid taxi-scam.[58] 

Rape and sexual assault[edit source | editbeta] 

Many of the alleged perpetrators are children of senior government officials or

politicians.[60][61] In September 1994, Gurkirat Singh Kotli, grandson of the then CM

Beant Singh, was accused of abducting and molesting a French tourist, Katia

Darnand, in Chandigarh.[62][63] In March 2006, Biti Mohanty, son of a senior police

official in Orissa, raped a German tourist in Alwar, Rajasthan.[64][65] A Japanese woman

was raped in Pushkar, Rajasthan on 2 April 2006.[66][67] In June 2007, a South Korean

was raped near Manali.[64] In September 2007, two Japanese women were gang-raped

in Agra,[64] a popular tourist-spot in India where the Taj Mahal is situated.

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/crimes-in-india 13/15

The Indian state of  Rajasthan  – a popular destination among foreign tourists, with

one out of every three foreign travellers visiting the state – has been rattled by rape

cases of foreign tourists.[68]On 5 December 2009, a Russian woman was raped in Goa

by a local politician, John Fernandes. In February 2008, Scarlett Keeling, a British

national aged 15, was raped and killed in Goa.[69] In January 2010, a Russian girl aged

9 was raped in Goa;[70] referring to this and earlier cases, Russia threatened to issue

an advisory asking its citizens not to travel to the coastal state.[71] The USBureau of 

Consular Affairs has warned women not to travel alone in India.[59] However in

contrast the British Foreign office only advise them to take normal

precautions.[72] most recently in 2013 was Swiss woman who was gang raped by 6 men

in front of her husband [73][74]
