A recent analysis of the government body National Crime Records Bureau’s (NCRB) data reveals that the country has witnessed the lowest riot rate in the last 50 years. The analysis is based on total riot cases registered from 1970 to 2021 in NCRB data. The graph indicates a sharp fall in the number of riot cases registered in the country under the nine of Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led NDA government.
