Although the police are making continuous efforts to bring culprits to book with thorough investigation, the conviction ratio, particularly in rape cases, has not been so effective in Yadgir district for various reasons, including non-cooperation of witnesses. Thus, most of the cases end with acquittals, according to information provided by officials here.
Sources said that a total of 277 cases have been registered from 2010 till September 20 this year. Surprisingly, the ratio of conviction is very low when compared to acquittals.
Out of the 277 cases, accused in only 13 cases have been convicted and accused in 131 cases have been acquitted. As many as 12 cases are under investigation and 121 cases are on trial, Superintendent of Police C.B. Vedamurthy has said.
