According to the National Crime Record Bureau's report for 2024, Mumbai has witnessed a 7.1% increase in crime, with total offences rising from 65,441 in 2023 to 70,054 in 2024. This surge places Mumbai second in crime rankings across various categories, trailing only behind Delhi. Notably, while traditional body crimes like murder and robbery have decreased, serious offences such as molestation and sexual harassment have increased. Crimes against women rose by 5.5%, and crimes against children increased by 8.5%. The most alarming statistic is the 52.7% rise in crimes targeting senior citizens, largely attributed to cyber fraud. In response, Mumbai police are prioritizing cybercrime education and awareness initiatives to protect vulnerable groups, including seminars aimed at senior citizens to combat issues like sextortion and investment fraud.
