But, Bangalore city is ahead in terms of the number of crimes, according to a study by the State Crime Records Bureau (SCRB).

The good news is that there's been a decline in the overall incidence of crime in the state compared to the previous year.

The data pertain to crimes registered under the provisions of the Indian Penal Code like murder, robbery, dacoity and rape, among other things. It doesn't include crime covered by special laws like those related to dowry and money-lending, passports and arms and explosives.

The study covered the four police commissionerates and all the districts in the state. The highest crime rate was reported from Mangalore city (582.85), followed by Bangalore city (343.70), Mysore city (270.92) and Hubli-Dharwad (259.28).

But in absolute numbers, Bangalore city reported the most (32,954 IPC) cases, followed by Mysore city (3,354), Hubli-Dharwad (2,445) and Mangalore city (2821). Bangalore also accounted for 22% of the total crimes in the state.

In all, 1,37,600 IPC cases were reported from the state, a marked dip as the previous year this number was 1,42,322.

About 1,820 murders were reported from the state. Bangalore city with 232 murders topped this list, followed by Belgaum (136), Bangalore district (105), Tumkur (101), Gulbarga (93), Ramanagaram (75) and Mandya (71).

Fewer murders were reported from KGF (14), Udupi (22) and Mangalore city (22), the study said.

Of the 214 dacoities in the state, Bangalore city accounted for the most with 43, followed by Bangalore district (18), Tumkur and Ramangaram districts (13 each) and Shimoga, Hassan and Mysore districts (10 each).


KGF, Davanagere, Udupi and Karwar accounted for a dacoity each, while no such incident was reported in Dharwad and Gadag districts.

In robberies too, Bangalore city stood on the top, reporting 783 of the 2123 cases registered in the state. Following the state capital were Mysore city (196), Hassan (99), Tumkur (89), Belgaum (83), Gulbarga (83) and Bangalore district (81).

Gadag and Yadgir districts accounted for seven robberies, Dharwad six and and Karwar two.

In case of house break-in thefts (HBT) too, the pattern did not change. Of the 6,136 burglaries in the state, Bangalore city accounted for (1313), followed by Mandya (307), Hassan (290), Belgaum (284), Bangalore district (277), Tumkur (248) and Gulbarga (252).

United Nations, Jul 25: UN report on terrorism has warned that there are “significant numbers” of ISIS terrorists in Kerala and Karnataka, noting that the al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent terror group, which reportedly has between 150 and 200 militants from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar, is planning attacks in the region.

The 26th report of the Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team concerning ISIS, al-Qaida and associated individuals and entities said that the al-Qaida in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) operates under the Taliban umbrella from Nimruz, Helmand and Kandahar provinces of Afghanistan.

“The group reportedly has between 150 and 200 members from Bangladesh, India, Myanmar and Pakistan. The current leader of AQIS is Osama Mahmood…, who succeeded the late Asim Umar… AQIS is reportedly planning retaliation operations in the region to avenge the death of its former leader,” it said.

According to the report, “One member state reported that the ISIL Indian affiliate (Hind Wilayah), which was announced on May 10, 2019, has between 180 and 200 members”.

It said that there are “significant numbers of ISIL operatives in Kerala and Karnataka states.”

In May last year, the Islamic State (also known as ISIS, ISIL or Daesh) terror group claimed to have established a new "province" in India, the first of its kind announcement that came after clashes between militants and security forces in Kashmir.

The dreaded terror outfit, through its Amaq News Agency, had said that the Arabic name of the new branch is "Wilayah of Hind" (India Province).

A senior Jammu and Kashmir police officer had rejected the claim.

Previously, ISIS attacks in Kashmir were linked to its so-called Khorasan Province branch, which was set up in 2015 to cover "Afghanistan, Pakistan and nearby lands".
