The number of murder cases in which juveniles were named as accused has more than doubled in the five years from 2016 to 2020 in Tamil Nadu, according to National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) reports.
This was despite no sharp increase in the overall number of murders that took place in the State every year since 2016. While 48 of the 1,603 murders (3%) had juveniles among the accused in 2016, 104 of the 1,661 murders (6.3%) in 2020 involved juvenile offenders.
