The National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) report for 2024 indicates that Haryana, India, recorded 4,422 cases of cruelty by husbands or relatives, reflecting a 14.81% decrease from 5,191 cases in 2023. Despite this decline, the state grapples with severe issues of domestic violence, evidenced by 177 dowry-related deaths and 1,391 reported rape cases, which gives Haryana a crime rate of 9.6 per lakh population, significantly higher than the national average of 4.2. The report also highlights 9,609 offences against women and children, including 956 murders and 801 kidnapping cases for marriage. Alarmingly, Haryana leads the nation in child procuration with 738 cases out of 1,671 nationwide. The Congress party's Kumari Selja criticized the state’s law and order situation, noting a nearly 18% increase in crimes against children, which totaled 7,547 in 2024. Overall, Haryana reported 177,595 total crime cases, a decrease from 224,216 in 2023, but still reflects significant challenges in ensuring safety for vulnerable populations.
