Delhi Police have an overall staff shortage of six per cent, but there is a surplus at the ranks of special commissioner and joint commissioner.

A white paper released by two NGOs revealed that the shortfall was from the posts of additional commissioner to constable. In 2014, the total strength of the force was 77,083 when the sanction was of 82,242 – a shortfall of 5,005.

In the heinous crime map of Delhi, Muslim-dominated neighbourhoods can be termed as ‘brighter’ spots in comparison to other localities of the national capital. Furthermore, not a single gang-rape crime reported from any of the Muslim localities except Jamia Nagar reported 17 rape cases which is the highest number in Muslim-concentrated localities while Jama Masjid reported not a single rape case. These revealing facts may smash the general-perception that minority-areas are crime-infested
