: A woman is raped in the Indian capital every 24 hours and, in an overwhelming majority of cases registered by police in the last six months, the rapists were known to the victims.
These are among the startling findings of an extensive analysis of 2,359 rape cases registered by Delhi Police between early 1999 and June this year.
According to the study, till June 15 this year, 248 rapes were recorded in the city, marginally lower than the figures for the same period last year.
Police have solved 232 of the cases registered this year and arrested 330 men in connection with them, as some cases involved more than one attacker.
