But even making stringent laws, the spate of crimes against minors does not seem to slow down. In India, each day, police registers 293 cases of crimes against children on average, suggest the latest National Crime Record Bureau data. Only a few are reported and fewer make the headlines. The number of police complaints filed have rose in case of crimes against children but there’s little that done to prevent such crimes.
