"Crime is an unfortunate reality in India, with an increasing number of crimes being committed in urban and rural areas across the country. Common crimes include theft, abduction, arson, domestic violence, fraud, cybercrime, human trafficking, acid attacks, and drug trafficking, among others. Fatalities from acts of violence have also been on the rise. The Indian government is taking steps to curb crime, including increasing police presence, passing tougher laws, and improving the criminal justice system," remarked another expat who made the move to India.
