It is also revealed that
Madhya Pradesh has recorded the maximum rapes in 2013 among all other states
with 4,335. In April this year, a 14-year-old dalit girl was allegedly
gang-raped by five people on a moving bus in Madhya Pradesh.
In another incident in Madhya Pradesh in June this year, a tribal woman was also allegedly gang-raped by ten persons, including her husband after a land dispute.
It is followed by Rajasthan (3285), Maharashtra (3063) and Uttar Pradesh (3050).
A total 923 rape cases were reported in Tamil Nadu, which means 3 per day.
The most horrifying fact is that majority of the offenders are known to the victims. NCRB statistics shows that 31,807 (94%) were familiar to the accused, which includes neighbours (10782), other known persons (18171), relatives (2315) and parents (539).
It is also revealed that most victims are aged between 18 and 30 years (15,556) and 14 and 18 years (8,877). Activists argue that legal system is slow to prosecute rape cases, but officials say the number of rape cases have increased because of the awareness on the part of the victims, who come forward to lodge complaints.
