7. Tamil Nadu
Rate of total cognizable crimes per 100,000 population: 271.2
Home to one of the longest surviving classical languages in the entire world, Tamil Nadu not only ranks as the seventh most dangerous state in India due to its high crime rate, but also has the second highest crime rate when it comes to the category of ‘crimes against body’, which includes crimes such as murder, kidnapping, dowry deaths and human trafficking among others. It is only surpassed by Kerala in this gruesome category.
