Jaipur continues to lead the crime chart in Rajasthan despite a marginal dip in overall cases, according to official data tabled in the state Assembly. The data was presented in response to a question by Congress MLA and former minister Pramod Jain Bhaya.
Jaipur Crime Statistics
Jaipur recorded a decline in overall crime, with total cases dropping from 2,405 in 2024 to 2,274 in 2025, a decrease of 131 cases. However, murder cases rose slightly from 97 to 100, indicating a marginal increase in violent crime. Loot cases fell sharply from 227 to 131, suggesting better control over property-related offences. The state has 52 crime districts, of which Jaipur accounts for six: Jaipur East, Jaipur West, Jaipur North, Jaipur South, Jaipur Rural and Metro. The figures cited are the combined totals of all these districts.
State-Level Crime Trends
Rajasthan recorded a notable decline in overall crime in 2025. The total number of cases stood at 18,665, down from 20,707 in 2024, marking a reduction of 2,042 cases. Category-wise, murder cases declined from 1,607 to 1,314, while loot saw a sharp fall from 1,800 to 982. Rape cases decreased from 6,482 to 5,601, and abduction cases dropped from 10,629 to 9,518. However, organised crime registered a significant spike, rising from 189 cases in 2024 to 1,250 in 2025, emerging as a key area of concern.
Udaipur: A Growing Concern
Beyond Jaipur, Udaipur continues to emerge as one of the most crime-affected districts in terms of serious offences. It recorded the highest combined cases under murder, loot, rape, kidnapping and organised crime in both years: 1,017 cases in 2024, dropping to 933 in 2025. However, the district also saw a sharp spike in organised crime, rising from 13 cases in 2024 to 114 in 2025, indicating a shift in criminal activity. This trend is particularly striking given Udaipur's global image as a premium tourist and wedding destination.
Other Districts
Bhilwara ranked second in both years, with cases declining from 921 in 2024 to 710 in 2025, largely driven by high kidnapping and rape figures. Ganganagar remained in the top three, reporting 731 cases in 2024 and 646 in 2025, continuing to show elevated levels of crimes against women. In 2024, Sikar and Jaipur East completed the top five. However, in 2025, Jaipur's urban spread became more prominent, with Jaipur East recording 587 cases and Jaipur West entering the top five with 574 cases, replacing Sikar.
Crimes Against Women and Organised Crime
Rape cases dipped slightly from 580 in 2024 to 572 in 2025, while kidnapping cases fell from 921 to 815, indicating some improvement in crimes affecting vulnerable groups, though absolute numbers remain high. A major shift is visible in organised crime, which jumped sharply from just eight cases in 2024 to 82 in 2025 across the state. The spike could reflect both improved reporting and enforcement, as well as a possible rise in organised criminal networks.
Overall, while certain categories show improvement, the data suggest that urban crime concentration and evolving organised crime patterns remain key challenges for Rajasthan's law enforcement agencies.
