Among the states, Uttar Pradesh topped the list with 9,857 cases of crimes against children, while Maharashtra was on the second spot with 8,247 cases.
The lowest number of cases were reported from Nagaland (8) followed by Daman and Diu along with Dadra and Nagar Haveli each with 14 cases, Sikkim (39) and Puducherry (47).
Sanjay Gupta, director of Chetna, an NGO that works for the rights of children, feels the rapid increase in the capital's migrant population has led to the increase in crimes against children.
"There has been rapid growth in Delhi's population compared to other cities due to an increase in the migrant or unskilled workforce coming from other states like Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Jharkhand and Rajasthan," Gupta told IANS.
