Recorded girl victims of child rape quadrupled from 2015 to 2024
Police recorded 10,934 girl victims below the age of 18 in 2015, compared with 43,675 in 2024, according to NDTV. The figures represent a fourfold increase over the decade. The supplied material says convictions remained low but provides no conviction figures or explanation for the trend.
The number of girl victims below the age of 18 recorded by police rose sharply over the decade to 2024, according to figures reported by NDTV. Police recorded 10,934 such victims in 2015. By 2024, the figure had increased to 43,675.
The supplied report describes the change as a fourfold rise. The same headline says convictions remained low. However, the available material does not provide the number or proportion of convictions for either year, or explain how convictions compared with recorded cases.
It also gives no breakdown by state or region, no information about reporting patterns and no official explanation for the increase. The figures therefore show the change in recorded victims but do not, on their own, establish why the number rose or how cases progressed through the justice system.
