NEW DELHI: The Delhi Police has released its latest crime data, indicating a clear decline in several serious offences across the national capital in 2025.

The statistics show that cases of murder, robbery, rape and molestation have come down when compared to previous years, a development that the police attribute to improved law and order conditions and the impact of sustained policing initiatives.

According to the figures, Delhi had recorded 506 murder cases in 2023. The number marginally declined to 504 in 2024 and further dropped to 491 in 2025.
