crime_rateBangalore, December 4: Mangalore city shares the dubious distinction of having the state's highest crime rate -- the incidence of crime for every 1 lakh of population - in 2011. 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).

Bengaluru, Aug 4: As the stage is set for the ground-breaking ceremony for Ram temple construction at Ayodhya on Wednesday, retired Supreme Court judge N Santosh Hegde has called for the promotion of religious harmony and peaceful coexistence and respect for different faiths.

"It is a good idea to make that as an object of the temple so that there can be peace in the world," the former Solicitor General of India said when asked if the temple should be promoted as a symbol of national integration, and social and communal harmony.

Hegde said one of the most dangerous things for conflict today is religion. "In that background, there should be some effort from somebody or other to bring about peaceful coexistence, respecting each religion," the former Karnataka Lokayukta told PTI on Tuesday. "It is a good idea to start Bhumi Pujan as an indicator of that or foundation for developing harmony among various religions," he added.

The Supreme Court had in November last year paved the way for the construction of a Ram temple by a Trust at the disputed site of the Babri Masjid's demolition in Ayodhya. It also directed the Centre to allot an alternative 5- acre plot to the Sunni Waqf Board for building a new mosque at a "prominent" place in the holy town in Uttar Pradesh. The Uttar Pradesh government has allotted a five-acre land in Dhannipur village in Sohaval Tehsil of Ayodhya for the mosque's construction.

Bengaluru, Jan 10: State’s primary and secondary education minister, S Suresh Kumar on Friday asked the Department of Public Instruction to register a complaint in the cybercrime police station against the teacher who shared a video of a child mispronouncing a Kannada word.

The viral video shows the child from a government school incorrectly pronouncing the word 'Pakkelubu' (ribcage).

The minister observed, 'It is normal for children to pronounce words incorrectly and only repetitive practise will make them say it correctly. If a video of such a mistake is made and spread on the Internet the child will see it in future and be demoralised and might start hate learning. The person who made and posted this video has committed a grave crime.
