KOLKATA: Kolkata has emerged as the safest among 19 Indian cities, including the metros, in crimes committed per lakh population, the 2017 National Crime Records Bureau report has revealed. Last year, Coimbatore had beaten Kolkata to the top spot. Bengal, too, has improved its ranking — jumping to 11th spot from 19th last year — among 29 states in the same index.

Kolkata’s crime rate (crimes per lakh people), which in 2017 fell to 141.2 from 159.6 in 2016, is significantly better than the national average of 462.2 for the 19 cities with population of 20 lakh or more. Kolkata was followed by Coimbatore, Hyderabad, Kozikode and Mumbai.
