“Six out of every 100 women in India are raped.”Rahul Gandhi, Chhatron Ki Goonj rally, Pune, 22 August 2026
Rated False
The facts
First of all, the source of this exact “6 out of 100” figure is unclear. Rahul Gandhi should clarify where this specific statistic came from, as it is not supported by the latest NCRB data.
The latest NCRB Crime in India 2024 report, released in May 2026, recorded 29,536 registered rape cases in India in 2024.
Of these, 28,950 victims were adults (18+), and 784 were below 18.
NCRB's 2024 data gives a rape crime rate of about 4.3 cases per lakh women, not 6 women per 100.131
