After Delhi, city has highest number of murder cases
The IT capital of the country is also a hotbed for cybercrime. For yet another year, Bengaluru tops India in the highest number of cybercrimes registered in 2020. What’s worse is that not a single conviction was recorded during the same period.
Data on ‘Crime in India’ for 2020, released by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB), showed that of the 18,657 cybercrime cases registered in cities across India, Bengaluru accounted for nearly 47% (8,892) of them.
Surprisingly though, it’s not Karnataka but Uttar Pradesh that tops the country with the State having the most number of cyber crime cases. When compared to previous years, the number of cases in the city have dropped: in 2019, the city recorded 10,555 cases, while in the previous year, 5253 cases were registered.
