As per the Crime Report released by the police, the overall crime graph has gone up by nine per cent even as the crime detection rate in Mumbai has dipped by 14 per cent in 2022 compared to 2021. Meanwhile, Cyber offences, including online frauds rose by 63.7 percent to 4,718 in 2022 compared to 2,883 cases in 2021.
The report claimed the poor detection of cyber crime cases must have pulled down the overall Mumbai crime detection rate in 2022.
“Overall crime in Mumbai rose by nine per cent in 2022, which is mainly because of prompt registration of street crimes such as theft, assault, chain snatching, robbery, and molestation,” the report said.
