Uttar Pradesh Police chief Rajeev Krishna (IPS:1991:UP) said the state recorded a crime rate of only 180.2 against the national tally of 252.3, according to the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) data. He said that this improvement is the result of continuous and well-planned efforts of the state police force.
Krishna lauded Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s zero-tolerance policy against crime and criminals that is being implemented on the ground.
The DGP further said that the NCRB’s report for the year 2024 clearly establishes that crime rate is the only scientific and statistically appropriate basis for comparing crime among different states.
He said, “Over the last 9 years, modern police stations; active anti-Romeo squads; dedicated women’s help desks at every police station; fast-track courts providing quick justice to weaker sections; and strict action against organised crime have established the rule of law in the state, and NCRB data stands testimony to this.”
The DGP declared that any person can visit a police station and file a complaint without fear or hesitation in the state as the UP Police remain fully committed to this.
According to him, even the smallest complaints received through digital platforms are taken seriously and converted into FIRs wherever required. Higher registration reflects a more sensitive, accessible, and transparent police force.
He exuded satisfaction while saying that this is the culture Uttar Pradesh Police is building under the vision of CM Yogi.
