Domestic violence cases in Rajasthan have seen a spike of 76 per cent between June & July while crime against women has seen a rise of 34 per cent in the same period. On the brighter side, there has been a 14% decrease in crime against women in July compared to the same month last year, which includes dowry deaths.

Crime against women, which had seen a dip of 66 per cent from March to April, had increased by 123 per cent in May. Experts alleged that alcohol, lack of privacy & household chores were some of the main reasons for domestic quarrels. The total number of cases registered under various categories of crime against women increased to 4,171 in July compared to 3,118 in June. In July 2019, there were 4,898 cases of crimes against women.

Categories of crime which had witnessed a decrease in the same month of 2019 have seen an increase. Experts say the surge in numbers which was witnessed due to lockdown in April-May is gradually normalising as complainants are registering their cases early.
