AP ranks 7th by registered SC-crime cases
NCRB Crime in India 2023 Table 7A.2 records 2,027 total crime/atrocity cases against Scheduled Castes in Andhra Pradesh, 2,109 victims, and a rate of 24.0; sorting states by registered cases puts AP seventh. NCRB cautions that states and UTs should not be compared purely on crime figures.
Activists allege 150+ atrocities in four months
NewsClick reports activist claims that more than 150 atrocities or humiliations against Dalits occurred in Andhra Pradesh during four COVID-lockdown months, and records allegations that probes are diluted when police or ruling-party leaders are accused.
Specific police-inaction examples reported
The same NewsClick report cites a Chirala custody death, a Rajamahendravaram tonsuring allegation, and a Chittoor road-blocking/social exclusion complaint as examples raised by activists.
JanaSena video lead on 150 attacks in 15 months
An archived ETV Andhra Pradesh video title records a JanaSena leader claiming more than 150 attacks on Dalits in 15 months under the YCP government; this remains a video-title lead unless its Telugu content is translated and reviewed.
National NCRB 2020 SC/ST crime increase
ThePrint reports NCRB data showing crimes against Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes rose by 9.4 percent and 9.3 percent respectively in 2020 compared with 2019, with 50,291 SC-crime cases and 8,272 ST-crime cases registered nationally.
National four-year Dalit-crime case count
Scroll reports the Union government told Parliament that 1,89,945 cases of crime against Dalits were registered over four years from 2018, and also records the Centre's statement that police and public order are state subjects.
Dalit leaders' video lead after government change
An archived ETV Andhra Pradesh video title records claims of many attacks on Dalits during the YSRCP period; the substantive Telugu description should be translated and reviewed before it is treated as source-of-truth text.
Legal proceedings
Court record lanes
The branches keep separate proceedings and their identifiers distinct; they do not imply a final merits finding.
No single court case corresponds to this pattern page. The three activist-cited incidents do not have identifiable case numbers in indexed sources. The Veedhi Subramanyam case is the most active SC/ST Act prosecution from this dossier.
Activist-reported incidents — FIR numbers not confirmed
- Chirala incident
- Custody death alleged; no FIR number or case outcome found in indexed sources
- Rajamahendravaram
- Tonsuring allegation; no FIR or court record confirmed in indexed sources
- Chittoor incident
- Social exclusion complaint; no FIR or court record confirmed in indexed sources
- How to verify
- NCRB Table 7A.2 gives aggregate AP SC-crime count; individual cases require FIR number from the relevant district police station
Evidence boundary
Supported and not established
The line matters: archived records can support a finding without resolving every allegation, motive, or final outcome.
What the sources support
- The archive supports that Dalit-atrocity concerns were raised through NCRB-related news reports, activist reports, and video/political leads.
- The archive supports that at least one 2020 activist report alleged more than 150 AP incidents in four months and alleged police bias when police or ruling-party leaders were accused.
- The archive supports national SC/ST crime trends, but those national counts cannot be substituted for AP-specific annual tables.
What remains unresolved
- The sources include the NCRB 2023 latest-rank table, but this page does not yet reproduce official AP state tables for every year from 2019 through 2024.
- The archive does not establish the 2,315 or 3,361 figures shown in the research presentation.
- Video descriptions in Telugu and low-tier web leads need translation review and stronger corroboration before they become settled findings.
