The state government while quoting the data for 2022 of NCRB said that Uttar Pradesh has been placed at 20^th place among states despite being the most populaous state in the country. The NCRB data is being interpreted by the state government to have endorsed the “UP Model” in the law-and-order administration. Adityanath on campaign trails in the Assembly elections has been claiming zero tolerance for criminals. The people loosely describe the “UP Model” as bulldozer justice.

“The rate of conviction in crimes related to women in UP is more than 180 percent than the national average. Due to the zero tolerance policy of the Yogi government, there has been a huge decline in serious crimes in the state as compared to other states and union territories of the country. The crime rate of robbery in UP is zero and the crime rate of attempt to murder is 25th in the country,” said the Chief Minister’s Office in a statement.

“UP is at 28th place in terms of murder. Whereas the crime rate of murder in Jharkhand is four percent more than that of Uttar Pradesh, the crime rate of Arunachal Pradesh is 3.6 percent and that of Chhattisgarh, Haryana is 3.4 percent. Similarly, 57,256 cases of attempt to murder were registered in the country, whose crime rate is 4.1 percent. With 3,788 cases of attempt to murder registered in Uttar Pradesh, the state ranks at 25th in the entire country with a crime rate of 1.6 percent,” said the CMO in the statement.

It further stated that “while 83,344 cases of outraging modesty were registered in the country, whose crime rate is 12.4 percent, 10,548 cases of outraging modesty were registered in UP, whose crime rate is 17th in the entire country with a crime rate of 9.4 percent”.
