Crime in Mumbai, India

Well, I was born and raised in Mumbai and in my opinion, Mumbai is not that unsafe well when I think of that, this place is also sadistic for poor people because the rich never get bothered by the slums because of the luxury they have in the places where they live. Well, this is also a place of gold diggers where all people are chasing after is money which is the only cause of bribery and other crimes here. Like how easy is it to get over a murder in Mumbai? 5,000,000 rupees that's it? Where is the justice for the dead? Nowhere because money is all we crave for innit?

I have went on vacation to Mumbai several times. Well I have seen there, crimes does occur there but it’s still comparatively safer and livable than Delhi,Bangalore,Kolkata,Chennai and Pune.So let’s not avoid coming to Mumbai just because crimes does occur there. The only thing you should keep in your mind when you are in Mumbai is to remain careful at all times. As pickpocketing risk is high there. So if you follow all the precautions there, then it’s definitely safe.

Mumbai is very unsafe. I live here and feel very unsafe anywhere here.

Mumbai has the Chor Bazaar (Thieves Market) where stolen items are sold. The goods and items stolen from you could be sold here by thieves. This is the true story of Mumbai. The police, lawyers, judges and politicians of Mumbai and Pune are hooligans themselves and major culprits. Along with the deluge, worst drainage, hoards of slums, poverty, money inequality and stinking smell throughout this city, Mumbai is among the worst place to live in the world.

Mumbai is a pathetic place where rape, assaults and murders are very common in this jam-packed town.
Most of the products from foreign countries that are past their expiry date, appalling low quality products are imported by India through Mumbai. These scrap products' expiry and manufacturing details are forged. Hence in India all junk products are sold.
If you want to purchase very good quality products at a low price, then honestly please visit Dubai, Muscat or Bahrain.
Mumbai is India's gateway for importing millions of scrap third-rated products in bulk to the country.

Worries home broken and things stolen:
Nah, this is very rare

Worries being mugged or robbed
Chain snatching and phone stealing on trains still happen, not rare

Worries car stolen
Nah, people are scared of license plates being traced

Worries things from car stolen
Again, not an issue here

Worries attacked
Molestation? Yes. I've experienced it too, that too in broad daylight in a public place. But as a cop said to me, punch and kick them instead of being scared. It's difficult to catch them once they run away.

Worries being insulted
Zero worries. Most mumbaikars are nice

Worries being subject to a physical attack because of your skin color, ethnic origin, gender or religion
Physical attacks? No. But there is some bias based on which part of India you are from. My family is from south india but I speak better Marathi than my mother tongue and have lived here all my life, yet some people treat me like an outsider. Some teachers in school used to look down on non-maharashtrian kids.

Problem people using or dealing drugs
I've read in news of drugs being caught by cops but never encountered anyone dealing or taking drugs

Problem property crimes such as vandalism and theft
Theft occasionaly happens, yes.

Problem violent crimes such as assault and armed robbery
Nope. There were terrorist attacks from Pakistan many years ago. Indians don't like hurting other Indians

Problem corruption and bribery
A lottt of it. Cops take bribes from poor vendors, extort teenage couples, shopkeepers. Politicans extort cops for money and good cops are forced to transfer away. There are honest people, but lot of corrupt people too.

Summary: Mumbai is a great city and has its ups and downs. Most of us are just good folk wanting to live a happy life and help others in need.

Mumbai being a slum-infested town is one of the worst places to live as a woman. Rapes, sexual harassment are very common in Mumbai. The entire town of Mumbai is ruled by the Underworld. Crimes against women never get reported in Mumbai. I say this as a woman from Mumbai. Police force of Mumbai are puppets of the Underworld.

From my point of view , In India only Mumbai is safe city for women because it has strong police force in India. Mumbai is safer than any other city in India.

It is astonishing to understand that people here trust the propaganda without any reasoning. To be very honest, life for a Christian in India is better than the Christian countries themselves. I have lived in USA for 2 years and have returned back home to India. In my 43 years in India, I never faced any problem being a Christian here. We Christians are thankful for the Hindu nation India.

Hindutva militants are doing their best to turn the whole of India into a dystopia. Mumbai and Delhi are already dystopias that are globally acclaimed as urban disasters. These Hindutva militants love to permanently settle abroad and target the minorities in India. Muslims are not at all safe in Indian cities such as Mumbai and also in the state of Gujarat.

Millions of people in Mumbai support the ethnic cleansing of religious minorities such as Christians. People in many parts of India want this 2% of the total population of the country to be completely wiped out. People including NRIs and PIOs have open spoken out about this on social media platforms. As others have said, Mumbai and Delhi are the top worst cities on earth.

Mumbai is probably the worst city to live in the entire world. There is no space here and a tiny piece of reclaimed land surrounded by sea is occupied by more than 20 million people.
There is absolutely no greenery here and Mumbai is terrible in every sense of the word.
Half of Mumbai lives in slums. Mumbai is surely the dirtiest city in the world. Much much worse than New Delhi. New Delhi's main problem is air pollution, due to stubble burning in Haryana and Punjab.
Mumbai is a place filled with few billionaire industrialists and Bollywood celebrities. Then you have the plethora of slums to serve these billionaires.

I am in Mumbai since Birth. The truth is the police are one who are not cooperative with the one who register a complain. Actually the people are very helpful people will stand for the right when police is not around because my experience says they are always with the political mafia. They always take the side of the person who has more money power

Mumbai has the worst police force in the whole world. Police routinely take favour anti-social elements such as rickshaw drivers, taxi drivers and other criminals such as pimps and prostitutes. The police often use them as a tool to extort money from people. Police often in Mumbai use 3rd degree torture methods such as burning and electric shocks on innocents to extort money from them. However police will SHAKE HANDS with criminals. How do you expect a city like this to be safe? There are regular road rages and street fights also where police favour the wrong person.

Went to Mumbai by accident after ordering the wrong flight tickets. Before you know it, I was at Heathrow with only my loyal Nintendo DSI for company. 'Come on Squirtle' I said, as I boarded the flight with anticipation, thinking about what if Johan Elmander had a better goal to game ration in a Bolton shirt? The city was nice, crime wasn't an issue, but my DS dies on the way back. 4/10.
