Of the 8,206 FIRs registered in Chandigarh since 4 August 2024, in how many cases did the police file charge sheets online?
- A.5,206
- B.6,480
- C.7,590
- D.8,206
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 7,590. The Union Home Minister said that the Chandigarh Police had set a national record by filing charge sheets online in 7,590 of the 8,206 FIRs registered in the city from 4 August 2024 onward, the period in which the three new criminal laws have been in force. Options A and B are smaller counts that were not reported. Option D is wrong because it repeats the total number of FIRs registered rather than the number in which online charge sheets were filed; not every registered case had reached that stage. The same address paired this record with a conviction rate of 85 per cent and an average of only 140 days to a conviction, and with a 93 per cent conviction rate in NDPS cases, offering the city as a model of how the new criminal laws can be worked.
