Crime in Ghaziabad

Ghaziabad: Acid attacks in Ghaziabad sadly represent only a fraction of the crimes against women. Rapes, molestation and harassment have almost become routine. Even though police say they’re doing their best to prevent such incidents, the frequency of crimes against women speaks for themselves.

According to senior cops, a rape takes place every week in the city and many go unreported. While cases of ‘molestation’ are common, chain snatchers exclusively target women. “The situation is so bad that one fears getting out of the house after it gets dark. The police is barely helpful, and in some cases, they are at fault,” said Renu Sharma, a Delhi University student who lives in Indirapuram.

In Vijaynagar alone, where Friday’s acid attack took place, five girls have been raped in the past 20 days. On July 23, a 6-year-old girl was assaulted by a constable’s teenager son. On July 20, a 16-year-old girl was gang raped after allegedly being sexually assaulted by a constable. Three more incidents of rape, all involving 6-year-old girls were reported in the last week.

Police, however, say that they have been unable to provide the required services due to a shortage in their force. In Ghaziabad, there are only 3,700 policemen to protect a population of 46 lakh. In the adjoining Gautam Budh Nagar district, the strength of police force is a mere 1,500.
