Haryana Police have achieved a landmark transformation in women’s safety, recording a 38 per cent decline in crimes against women—from 13,945 cases in 2024 to 8,723 in 2025.
Rape cases fell from 1,716 in 2021 to 1,033 in 2025, with the rate dropping from 12.33 to 7.06 per lakh female population. Kidnapping and abduction declined from 2,958 to 1,249 cases, the rate falling from 21.25 to 8.54.
Family cruelty cases dropped from 5,755 to 4,562. This occurred despite a rising female population—from 139.2 lakh to 146.3 lakh—and was supported by a case resolution rate of about 98 per cent. Serious offences, including rape and molestation, showed consistent reductions across all five years.
Recognising that women face distinct vulnerabilities at every stage of daily life, Haryana Police adopted a structured, four-dimensional approach to address threats at home, at work, in transit, and before the law.
Across the state, 33 women police stations and 365 women help desks offer confidential, survivor-centred support for marital discord, domestic violence, dowry harassment, and child marriage, staffed mainly by trained women officers. One Stop Centres provide integrated counselling and legal guidance. The Harsamayportal enables grievance redressal without requiring a visit to a police station.
In the workplace, Internal Complaints Committees are actively monitored; a Special Private Prosecutor is designated exclusively for crimes against women; and government benefits are suspended for accused persons, sending a clear message that institutional protection ends where criminal conduct begins.
‘Not only this, the response time of emergency response vehicles in the state was recorded at 9 minutes and 32 seconds in February. Over 93,999 working women are currently enrolled on the Working Women Safety Portal.
The Durga Shakti Mobile Application provides single-touch emergency access integrated with Haryana 112, while the Durga Shakti Rapid Action Force — comprising 24 companies and 50 dedicated patrol vehicles — maintains active, visible patrolling across public spaces and transport corridors.
Before the law, the Chinhit Apradh Yojana ensures fast-tracked trials, SC/ST women victims receive financial compensation, and a dedicated monitoring cell at Police Headquarters under an ADGP-rank officer ensures no case loses momentum.
“We asked ourselves where a woman is most vulnerable — at home, at work, in transit, or in a courtroom — and then we went to each of those places and built something to protect her," said DGP Ajay Singhal. “It is a beginning. But it is a determined one."
