Official data says that in 2016 not a single case of rape, domestic violence, acid attack, stalking, or demand for dowry was recorded in the entire city. The city has a good record when it comes to crimes against women. There were only two cases of rape registered in the city in 2015. That record improved in 2016. The city had no cases being filed in seven categories of crimes against women. Coimbatore’s Deputy Commissioner of Police (Law and Order) S. Lakshmi says these statistics are the result of effective interventions in preventing and controlling crimes. The police also has an initiative called ‘Operation Zero Crime’.
