Account for 90 per cent cases of murder this year
Chandigarh, December 14
Extreme emotions of passion and revenge account for more than 90 per cent murders in the city. More interestingly, all 22 murders reported this year so far had occurred in city’s colonies and slums owing to failed love affairs, matrimonial disharmony or old enmity which turned violent.
While all murder cases had been solved, the figure of murders reported this year had surpassed past year’s figure, when 20 murders were reported.
The areas of Mauli Jagran, Dadu Majra, Colony Number 4, Ram Darbar, Maloya and Kajheri had reported a majority of the murders.
Only one of the 22 murders had been reported in an urban part of the city. Two school students had stabbed a youth to death as he intervened in a scuffle at Sector 19 in September.
A staggering 70 percent of those arrested for committing these murders were first-timers, who had never any history of criminal offence and committed these murders out of sudden provocation. The police said though the number of murders was high, all cases had been solved. The police had also registered 38 attempt-to-murder cases and 64 robbery cases this year. “The trend of committing murder on account of revenge and prior enmity is on the rise. We have solved all murder cases this year. We have taken robberies and scuffles seriously, resulting in more hardcore criminals being behind bars,” said UT SSP Naunihal Singh.
