Despite several new initiatives by Delhi Police to make the capital safer for women, the year 2011 saw a significant increase in the number of rape and molestation cases than the previous year with 98 per cent of the offenders being either related or known to the victims.
A total of 568 rape cases were reported in the year gone by as compared to 507 in 2010.
However, the incidence of rape per lakh population has shown a steady decline in Delhi, coming down from 4.42 per lakh in 2005 to 3.39 per lakh in 2011.
