The national capital witnessed a 48% surge in reported incidents of crimes against foreigners in 2022, as per the latest data released by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB).

In 2022, Delhi reported a total of 40 cases of crimes against foreigners, marking an increase from the 27 cases documented in 2021. However, this figure was lower than the 62 cases reported in 2020.
