Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday informed the state legislative assembly that 10,662 cases have been registered for crimes against children in five months.
Fadnavis, who holds the home department portfolio, shared the information in a written reply to a question by NCP MLA Kashinath Date and others, raising concerns about crimes against children, especially girls.
He said 10,662 cases of crimes against children were reported in the state from January till May this year.
He highlighted that 1,179 cases of molestation have been registered till March 2025.
The state had recorded 2,626 molestation cases in 2021, 3,524 in 2022, 3,886 in 2023 and 4,467 in 2024.
The chief minister, in his reply, further said that between January and March this year, Buldhana district alone reported 17 murders and 43 rape cases.

Fadnavis said that there were special assistance cells for women in all commissionerates, and Nirbhaya and Damini squads have been set up.

Indore tourist Raja Raghuvanshi was found dead during a honeymoon in Meghalaya. His wife Sonam has surrendered, accused of plotting the murder with hired killers.

Indore tourist killed by men hired by wife during honeymoon in Meghalaya, 4 arrested: Police

Indore tourist Raja Raghuvanshi was found dead during a honeymoon in Meghalaya. His wife Sonam has surrendered, accused of plotting the murder with hired killers.

Indore tourist Raja Raghuvanshi was allegedly killed by men hired by his wife during their honeymoon in Meghalaya, DGP I Nongrang said on Monday morning.
Speaking to PTI, she said the wife, Sonam, surrendered before the police in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur, while three other assailants were arrested in overnight raids.
Raghuvanshi and his wife went missing while vacationing in Meghalaya's Sohra area on May 23. His body was found in a gorge on June 2, while a search for his wife was underway.
"One person was picked up from UP, and another two accused were apprehended from Indore by the SIT," the DGP said.
"Sonam surrendered at the Nandganj police station in UP, and was subsequently arrested," she added Nongrang said the arrested men have revealed that the wife had hired them to kill Raghuvanshi.
"The operation is still continuing in Madhya Pradesh to catch some more persons involved in the crime," she said.
Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma congratulated the state police for cracking the case that had shocked the nation.
"Within 7 days a major breakthrough has been achieved by the #meghalayapolice in the Raja murder case... 3 assailants who are from Madhya Pradesh have been arrested, female has surrendered and operation still on to catch 1 more assailant&hellip; well done," he posted on X.
PTI had on Saturday reported that a tourist guide in Mawlakhiat, Albert Pde, had seen Raghuvanshi and his wife with three men on the day they went missing.
Albert said that he had seen the couple accompanied by three men as they were climbing over 3,000 steps from Nongriat to Mawlakhiat around 10 am on May 23.
He said he recognised the couple as he had offered his services to them on the previous day to climb down to see the famed living roots bridge in Nongriat, but they had politely refused and hired another guide.
He also said that all three men accompanying the couple were speaking in Hindi, indicating that they were not locals.
The families of the husband and the wife had sought a CBI investigation.
Raghuvanshi's body was found in a gorge near Weisawdong Falls. A gold ring and a neck chain were found missing from his body, further leading to suspicion that he was murdered.
A day later, a bloodstained machete was found nearby, and two days later, a raincoat that was similar to the one used by the couple was found in Mawkma village, halfway between Sohrarim and the gorge where Raghuvanshi's body was found.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav on Saturday said he has requested Union Home Minister Amit Shah to order a CBI probe into the case.
On Friday, Sonam's family urged the Centre to hand over the case to the CBI, expressing dissatisfaction with the probe of the Meghalaya Police.
"My daughter has been abducted and is still in the clutches of her captors. Meghalaya Police are not investigating the matter properly. They have been negligent right from the beginning. I have been seeking the deployment of the Army since the day they went missing. If it was done in time, they would have been found safely," Sonam's father, Devi Singh Raghuvanshi, told PTI.
After their marriage on May 11, the couple left for Meghalaya on May 20 for their honeymoon.
They arrived at Mawlakhiat village on May 22 on a rented scooter.
On May 24, their scooter was found abandoned at a cafe along the road from Shillong to Sohra, following which the search for them began.
A special investigation team (SIT) headed by an SP and assisted by four DSPs was probing the matter.&nbsp;

Haryana Pushes to Raise Crime Conviction Rates

Sumita Misra leads Haryana's effort to enhance conviction rates in serious crimes, focusing on evidence, digital tools, and witness protection policies.

Haryana's Home Department urges improved conviction rates

Haryana's officials push for improved conviction rates in serious crimes. Emphasis on evidence-based investigations, digital tools, and witness protection.

Haryana's Additional Chief Secretary, Home Department, Sumita Misra, on Thursday called on the state's police to intensify efforts to raise the conviction rate in heinous crimes, including sexual assault, gang rape, murder, and drug trafficking.
While chairing the 25th state level committee meeting under the 'Chinhit Apradh' initiative, Misra highlighted the need to surpass the current 61.5 per cent conviction rate.
During the meeting, it was apprised by the officials that the state has recently taken up 117 new cases under the initiative for February and March, 2025 and is actively monitoring 1,683 ongoing cases.
She emphasised that swift, evidence-backed investigations and timely forensic reports are crucial for securing convictions.
"Every effort must be made to bring justice to victims swiftly. Delay or negligence in investigation or trial weakens public trust in the system," Misra said in an official statement.
She directed district police officers and prosecutors to work closely together, suggesting the appointment of special prosecutors in select cases for stronger court representation.
Misra also urged regular monitoring of serious cases and warned that accountability would be fixed for any lapses.
She further instructed officers to create a district-wise list of serious crime cases pending for over six months, emphasising that these cases must be revived on a priority basis with proper legal strategy and administrative monitoring.
Misra also called for equipping prosecution teams with digital tools and training so that electronic and forensic evidence can be presented effectively in court.
Additionally, she directed that Haryana's newly adopted witness protection policy be enforced rigorously to provide safety and confidence to witnesses, especially in sensitive cases.
Misra said that District Level Committees (DLCs) must ensure compliance with Section 346 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, so that 'Chinhit Apradh' cases are heard in court at the earliest.
Meanwhile, the statement said to strengthen investigations, the State Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) is speeding up DNA and forensic reports, particularly for sensitive cases.
The meeting was attended by Additional Director General of Police/State (Crime Branch), Mamta Singh through video conferencing.
Inspector-General of Police (Criminal Investigation Department) Maneesh Chaudhary, Deputy Inspector General of Police (State Crime Branch) Hamit Akhtar along with other senior officers were present in person during the meeting.

Nine men found guilty in Pollachi assault case by Coimbatore Court. The CBI seeks life sentences as Tamil Nadu awaits final sentencing. Key revelations sparked movements across the state.

Convictions Announced in Pollachi Case Verdict

Coimbatore Court convicts nine in Pollachi case. Charges included rape, extortion. Awaiting sentences, CBI seeks life terms.

The Coimbatore Mahila court on Tuesday held all nine men arrested in the sensational Pollachi sexual assault and extortion case as guilty.
Judge R Nandhini Devi would pronounce the quantum of punishment later in the day.
All those facing the charges have been accused of criminal conspiracy, sexual harassment, rape, gang rape, and extortion, in the series of incidents including blackmail that happened between 2016 and 2018.
The victims were mostly college girls and the incident came to light after an affected student lodged a complaint with the police.
The incident caused an outrage in the state and even echoed in the state assembly. An audio clip of a purported victim also went viral, sending shock waves across the state.
While the local police initially probed the matter, it was later transferred to the CB-CID. In 2019, the case was handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
The counsel representing the CBI said the agency had sought the "highest punishment" of lifer till death. The CBI has sought compensation for the victim women.
To a question, he said the convicted persons had sought leniency on grounds including their young age and aged parents. A total of 48 witnesses were examined by the prosecution and none of them turned hostile, he said.
The electronic evidence played a crucial role in proving the charges as they were "scientifically proven."

Woman kills 1-yr-old son after quarrel with mother-in-law in Thane

Her husband grew suspicious and confronted her. The woman then confessed to him that she had killed their child.

A woman allegedly killed her one-year-old son by throwing him in a water tank following a dispute with her mother-in-law over the infant&rsquo;s health issues in Maharashtra&rsquo;s Thane district, police said on Thursday.
The incident took place at Kasane village near Vasind in Shahapur taluka on Wednesday and the Padgha police later arrested the woman, they said.
The child&rsquo;s father, who worked as a security guard at a nearby godown, married the woman in 2022.
Last year, the couple&rsquo;s son was born with a congenital illness and has been receiving treatment at the Wadia Hospital in Mumbai, an official from Padgha police station said.
The woman and her mother-in-law were frequently at odds over the child&rsquo;s care and well-being.
On Tuesday, the child&rsquo;s grandmother, concerned about his health, decided to take him to Titwala during a visit to her daughter.
However, the child developed a fever there and his grandmother brought him back to Kasane late Tuesday night, the official said.
Later, a heated argument took place between the child&rsquo;s mother and grandmother over his health condition, he said.
The child&rsquo;s father left for his night shift work after attempting to calm the situation.
When he returned on Wednesday morning, he briefly played with his son before falling asleep.
During this time, the child&rsquo;s mother allegedly drowned him in a water tank located on the first floor of the house, the official said.
Later, when the man was unable to find his son, he began a search for him along with family members and friends.
In the meantime, the child&rsquo;s mother approached police with a complaint, claiming her son had gone missing, the official said.
Her husband grew suspicious and confronted her. The woman then confessed to him that she had killed their child, he said.
The man subsequently contacted the Padgha police and filed a complaint.
The body was recovered and sent to a government hospital for post-mortem, police inspector Bala Kumbhar said.
The woman was taken into custody and booked for murder and other charges, he added.

Convict's wife Anita survived the attack but the baby had to be aborted which as per the doctors was a boy. 

UP man gets life term for slitting pregnant wife's abdomen to find baby's gender

Convict's wife Anita survived the attack but the baby had to be aborted which as per the doctors was a boy.

A fast-track court in Budaun Uttar Pradesh on Friday sentenced a 38-year-old man to life imprisonment for slitting his pregnant wife's abdomen to find the gender of their unborn child.
According to the police complaint, in September 2020, Pannalal attacked his wife Anita, who was eight months pregnant with their sixth child, and cut her abdomen open with a sickle.
The accused wanted a boy as the couple already had five daughters, the police said.
Anita survived the attack but the child had to be aborted, they said. The doctors later informed the family that the aborted fetus was a boy, the police said.
Based on the complaint, the police had registered an FIR against Pannalal under sections 307 (attempt to murder) and 313 (causing miscarriage without women's consent) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), the police said.
Additional District Government Counsel (ADGC) Munendra Pal told PTI that the police filed a chargesheet against Pannalal.
"The matter was heard in the court of additional session judge (fast-track court) Saurabh Saxena. The court awarded life imprisonment to Pannalal and also slapped a fine of Rs 50,000 on him," Pal said.
Meanwhile, Anita welcomed the court's decision, saying she has finally received justice after waiting for four years.
She told PTI that she continues to live in the same house in the Nekpur locality where she was fatally attacked by her husband, whose parents also live nearby.
Anita alleged that when Pannalal got bail earlier, he entered her house on several occasions and beat her up. He also vandalised the house, she added.
"In his desire to have a son, Pannalal attacked me fatally and killed our child in the womb. Pannalal used to run a sweet shop in the locality and his business was doing good. After he was released on bail after serving two years of jail sentence, he had again opened a samosa shop near the court," she said.
Anita further alleged that she was pressurised to withdraw the case and even threatened to be killed.
She said if her husband had not attacked her that day, his wish of having a son would have been fulfilled.
Anita said she will always be saddened by the thought that her son died before coming into the world but she is happy that Pannalal has been punished for his crime.
She supports her five daughters and herself by running a small grocery shop in her house.&nbsp;

Cop, other men thrash student, urinate in his mouth one by one in UP

According to police, the victim had gone to meet a girl he met on Instagram when the men abducted him at gunpoint.

In a bid to settle scores, a head constable and about a dozen other men allegedly thrashed a student, fired a bullet to scare him and urinated into his mouth one by one, police said on Tuesday.
The men abducted the MCA student named Ayush Dwivedi (23) from the city&rsquo;s Civil Lines area where he had come to meet someone, drove him five kilometers away to Cooperganj where they assaulted him, they said.
This came as a case under Section 307 (attempt to murder) was registered against the MCA student in October last year and the complainant was the head constable.
The offenders, who took the MCA student to the railway tracks near Cooperganj after kidnapping him, even forced the 23-year-old to drink their urine as well as lick their spit from the slippers, police said.
The bullet fired upon the Masters in Computer Applications (MCA) student passed close to his earlobe, they said.

Ayush saw a car there in which Himanshu Yadav, Shubham Sonkar, Nandu Dubey, Ishant Chauhan, Ayush Mishra, Rajat, Mohit and two others were seated, he added.
The ACP said that before the MCA student could make sense of their evil intention, they took him at gunpoint inside the car.
They then took him to the railway tracks near Cooperganj, where Himanshu also called his father Dharmendra Yadav, a head constable, he added.
The ACP further said that they allegedly urinated into the MCA student's mouth one by one and forced him to drink their urine.
They also fired upon Ayush, who had a narrow escape, he added.
A case has been registered against eight named persons and two unnamed persons under sections 147 (punishment for rioting), 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt), 364 (kidnapping or abducting in order to murder), 307 (attempt to murder) and 377 (unnatural offences) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), police said.
