After a year’s delay, the National Crime Records Bureau released its report on crimes in India in 2017….and it has a LOT of data about different crimes in India, but it didn’t include mob lynchings!
So have there been no lynchings in India? Is the NCRB missing an important detail in their oh-so-detailed report? That’s what we’ll find out on this edition of The Big Story podcast.
The NCRB released its annual crime report for 2017, after more than a year’s delay, and it’s completely ignored the word lynching in its 1300 page report. Apart from this, it’s got a few other important details, which we’ll get to soon enough. I’m joined today by former IPS officer Yashovardhan Azad. He also served as special director of the Intelligence Bureau, and Central Information Commissioner among other positions.
We also hear from the Centre’s ministers as well as our legal editor today.
