When Bassi took over Delhi the crime was less because most of the cases got unreported so he made sure that all the cases get reported the result was that there was an increase of 250% of crime reporting especially against women in Delhi. Most of the time in India, the crimes get unreported, giving a false impression that the crime rate is low.[4]
