PoliticsSupreme Court Calls Delhi's Rape Case Dip a Systemic Failure
The Supreme Court of India on September 28, 2026, described the recent decline in Delhi's registered rape cases as a systemic failure, citing administrative breakdowns, lax police patrolling, and unsafe public spaces. Despite a drop from 2,141 cases in 2023 to 1,901 in 2025, the court emphasized that these numbers do not reflect the true safety situation. Justices J.B. Pardiwala and K. Vinod Chandran highlighted the lack of visible police presence and institutional lapses as key issues.
