Bhubaneswar, Feb 23: The new technologies are leading to love affairs, while minors are raped mostly by their friends, twin city police commissioner Rajendra Prasad Sharma said Monday.
“Around 43 cases of minors being raped were registered in 2014 as against 27 in 2013. At least 29 cases of rapes were registered in 2014 as against 24 in 2013,” Sharma told reporters during the annual crime review meeting at the commissionerate police headquarters here.
“The detection rate of rape cases here was 100 per cent in 2014 as against 98 per cent in 2013,” he added.
The rape cases registered in Cuttack in 2014 were significantly high as compared to 2013. In what is a worrying trend, the commissioner said the number of rapes involving major women was four in 2013 while in 2014, it went up to 33. Similarly, the number of rapes involving minors was 26 in 2013 while in 2014 it went up to 33.
The minor girls have majorly faced the axe of the rising crimes in the city.
The police said around 86 cases of kidnapping of minors were registered in 2014 against 71 in 2013. Police statistics also show around 104 cases of domestic violence registered in 2014 as against 58 in 2013.
Talking about rising crimes against women in the city, the commissioner said special documentaries were shown to women here and were advised not to remain silent.
“There are still many cases where women don’t report of being harassed fearing the repercussions it might lead to their relationship or their image in the society,” he added.
However, the murder cases registered in 2014 were marginally less than in 2013. But the detection rate also fell in comparison to the previous year.
Fourty two cases of murder were reported here in 2014 and the detection rate was 93.5 per cent, while 83 cases were reported in 2013 and the detection rate that year was 98.55 per cent. The total number of cognizable cases registered in the capital city in 2014 was 5,828 as against 5,784 in 2013 and 5261 in 2012.
The commissioner said the shortage of manpower is badly affecting the performance of police in the twin city.
“The major challenges for commissionerate police now are the shortage of manpower given rapid urbanisation and fast growing population,” the commissioner said.
“We require a total of 119 police officers (six Inspectors, 103 sub-inspectors and 10 Assistant Sub-inspectors) to handle crime cases in the twin cities. A proposal has been sent to the Orissa government to increase the police force’s manpower,” he added.
