The National Commission for Women (NCW) has claimed that Uttar Pradesh has the highest number of criminal cases against women.

Rekha Sharma, a member of the NCW, said at a press conference that on an average 60 per cent of the complaints received by the NCW are from UP. She said Ghaziabad tops the list among the UP cities with at least 50 complaints every month.

The NCW, which was conducting a mobile hearing of cases in Ghaziabad police lines, resolved 53 cases in two days.
