Over 55% of undertrials are Muslim, Dalit or tribal: NCRB
Over 55% of undertrials across the country are either Muslims, Dalits or tribals, National Crime Record Bureau's 2015 prison data has revealed. These communities, however, have lower representation among convicts as compared to undertrials at 50.4%. Notably, this share is disproportionate to their population as together they account for 39% of the total population (2011 Census).
