There were over 3.4 thousand cases of cyber crime related to sexual harassment or exploitation reported across India in 2022. This was a stark jump in the number of such cyber crimes in the country compared to the year 2016 and 2017. Although the crime rate had indeed gone up in the country from 2018 to 2020, the Indian government's efforts to establish new mechanisms to tackle cyber crime, along with more awareness among people were some of the factors causing such a big spike in reported cases of cyber crimes.
