According to a handout issued on Tuesday, as many as 632 cases of murder were registered of which 493 cases were traced and a charge-sheet submitted in them, at a success rate of 78%. Fifty-three cases of kidnapping for ransom were registered of which 47 were traced and culprits charged, at a success rate of 89%. In other kinds of kidnapping, police claimed a success rate of 81% as 2,397 cases were registered and 1,940 traced.
Police registered 2,363 cases of vehicle theft and traced 2,012 at a rate of 85% but success rate was much lower for motorcycle theft as 5,470 cases were registered and 1,818 were traced (33%).
