New Delhi:
The crime graph has dipped sharply in Delhi since the government pulled out high-value banknotes, police data show.
Data show that the crimes with financial motive have registered a sharp decline of 33% in the Capital following the demonetisation exercise carried out by the Narendra Modi government.
