Rising crime graph in Uttar Pradesh due to adultery: Study

[1]

 
Lucknow: The rising crime graph in Uttar Pradesh is not due to poor governance or bad policing. It is a result of failed relationships, extra-marital affairs and betrayal in love affairs according to a study conducted by National Crime Records Bureau.
 
The study shows that of the 28,145 persons killed across the country in crimes of passion, 4,200 were in Uttar Pradesh alone. Police officials attribute this trend to ‘lifestyle aberrations’ that allow the young generation to cross boundaries with ease and at an alarming frequency.
 
“Infidelity, extra marital affairs and failed relationships have become the order of the day. This relationship behaviour also brings in frustration that explains the growing brutality 
in the execution of crime,” said a DG rank officer.
 
The official added that while an increasing degree of openness can be seen in society, the degree of tolerance has declined drastically.
