Digital Desk: Director General of Police Ravi stated on Friday that the state of Telangana's overall crime rate increased by about nine percent in 2023 compared to the previous year, primarily due to a 17.6% spike in cybercrime.
Speaking at this annual press conference, the official stated that, in contrast to the previous year, 2023 would be incident-free, even though the recent legislative assembly elections caused significant chaos for the police.
A press release stated that the police recorded 2.13 lakh cases this year, an increase of 8.97% over the previous year, and that 16,339 cybercrime cases were booked in 2023 as opposed to 13,895 last year, a 17.59% rise.
According to the release, the total amount of property lost this year was Rs 151.78 crore, of which products valued at Rs 80.81 crore (or 53.82 percent) were recovered, compared to 50 percent the previous year.
According to the statement, 1,362 occurrences of kidnapping or abduction were reported this year; however, an analysis revealed that just nine of those cases were carried out for ransom.
According to the publication, 2,284 incidences of rape were reported in 2023.
In response to a question regarding Chief Minister Revanth Reddy's remarks during the press conference—that the previous BRS government purchased 22 Toyota Land Cruisers in the hopes that former Chief Minister K Chandrasekhar Rao would retake office—Gupta stated, "Vehicles were purchased as per security requirements."
Speaking about law enforcement's response to the drug trade, the DGP stated that they are enforcing a "zero tolerance" approach and will take drastic measures against anyone found in possession of drugs. He said that everyone involved in the drug trade, whether it be buying, selling, facilitating, or possessing, would face harsh penalties under the relevant legislation.
