Dimapur, Jan. 11: Dimapur registered a total of 1113 crime cases in 2016 – the highest among the districts in Nagaland. Dimapur police authorities issued an update on Wednesday.
“The increase in the case registration is largely attributed to the various pro-active policing as can be made out in the increased number of cases detected for offences under the NLTP Act; increased detection of cases of extortion by the Anti Extortion Cells; other offences. “As per the guidelines of the Apex Court, all missing reports and complaints are to be registered as regular cases. The increase in number of cases under the crime head - ‘Kidnapping & Abduction’ thus, is attributed to this factor. Offence under the Crime head- ‘Theft’ continues to constitute the bulk of the cases registered. These cases include lost/theft of all types of items reported,” it informed.
