At least 1,375 murder cases here are yet to be solved by Delhi Police, and almost half of them are over five years old, a right to information (RTI) activist has said.<\/p>\n
In their reply to RTI applicant Dev Ashish Bhattacharya, police said 644 of the 1,375 unsolved murder cases took place more than five years ago.<\/p>\n
“The number of unsolved cases is definitely much higher than 1,375 (because) some police stations denied providing details stating that it’s a time-consuming procedure. Some gave confused details,” said Bhattacharya, who filed the RTI application to the home ministry in March.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen media creates a hype on some high-profile cases, the cops start investigating them while thousands of other cases are left ignored,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
As a result, families of thousands of victims are waiting for justice, he said.<\/p>\n
One such unsolved case is that of 22-year-old BPO executive who was found strangled to death at her home in south Delhi\u2019s Gautam Nagar neighbourhood Sep 9, 2008.<\/p>\n
The victim’s father, who works with a bank and travels to the capital every month from Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh, hopes that the Defence Colony police will arrest the culprit who murdered his daughter.<\/p>\n
The unsolved cases also include the mysterious death of 41-year-old former soldier Janeshwar Sharma, who worked for industrialist Anil Nanda.<\/p>\n
The victim was admitted to the Safdarjung Hospital June 9 with 80 percent burns and died June 15. The brother of the deceased is waiting to know who killed his brother.<\/p>\n
Statistics provided to Bhattacharya show that the areas of Rohini, Alipur, Narela, Sultanpuri and Bawana have the highest number of unsolved cases.<\/p>\n
Of the 336 unsolved murder cases in outer Delhi district, 246 cases are more than five years old.<\/p>\n
In northeast district, there are more than 300 unsolved cases. In southeast district, there are 161 unsolved murder cases<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
