India is not just known to be a country with ancient history and varied landscapes; it is marked as the country with the highest crime rates. The country's capital, Delhi, is now called the nation's crime capital, and this is worrisome.
By far, the reports from 2022 state that Indians witness nearly 92 murders daily.
States with high crime rates are:-

Uttar Pradesh
Uttar Pradesh is at the top with a high rate of murders of 3,717, followed by Bihar with 2800 cases and Maharashtra with 2300 cases. Haryana and Jharkhand are two other large states where murders and homicides are rising. The records of the National Crime Records Bureau, nearly 29,272 murder cases were registered only in 2021. Be it the mysterious deaths of celebrities or the attacks and threats in the name of religion, the nation is making headlines because of different crime cases. The possibilities behind the increased crime rates The reports on India’s increased crime rates blame the country's increased population. It has turned out to be one of those prime factors that have influenced crime incidences. Aside from popular culture, socioeconomic factors can have an impact on crime rates in a specific location. Post-Covid pandemic, there has been a sharp rise in the number of crime reports associated with accidents, suicides, and deaths. My thoughts: India is undoubtedly a beautiful country with a diverse nature that denotes unity in diversity, but the increased crime rates have always kept me alert. Considering this, I installed a safety app called the Pulse of the People has been helpful for me. I and my entire family has installed it so we can monitor each other’s location. We can even report a crime that is taking place right in front of us. The officials get the notification instantly while our loved ones are alerted when we are in danger.
