Are women safe in Cyberabad? Despite all the big talk and concerns
that were raised about security of women in the aftermath of the
Nirbhaya rape case in Delhi in December last year, the statistics of
crime against women in the jurisdiction of Cyberabad police
commissionerate, present a grim picture about safety of women in the
software district.
With 135 cases of rape, 334 cases of outraging
modesty, and 114 cases of women being abducted besides the increasing
cases of dowry harassment and deaths, the year 2013 saw a sharp increase
in crime against women with 2,391 cases being reported in 2013 compared
to 1,914 cases in 2012. As many as 110 Nirbhaya cases were reported
this year after the Act was enforced in February. Giving the round up of the law and order scenario in his
jurisdiction for the year 2013, Cyberabad Police Commissioner CV Anand
said that crime against women had gone up compared to previous year.
“Cases of harassment of women, including that for dowry, has gone up and
1565 cases of harassment were reported this year,” he said.
He
informed that Madhapur police would file the chargesheet in connection
with the Abhaya case (a techie who was raped by two men) within a week.
Besides,
the Cyberabad police registered a total of 27,156 cases during the
