Assam Conviction Rates Surge to Nearly 31 Percent

Guwahati: Assam's conviction rate hit 30.88 percent this September. The numbers are up. Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma shared the data on X, citing a massive 406.2 percent increase since 2021. Back then, the state struggled with a conviction rate of just 6.1 percent.

The progress has been steady over the last five years. It climbed to 13.5 percent in 2022, 16.4 percent in 2023, 22.6 percent in 2024, and 25.8 percent in 2025. Sarma credits this turnaround to better investigations, smarter prosecution, and increased accountability under Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Sarma remains focused on the legal system. "Stronger investigations. Effective prosecution. Greater accountability," the Chief Minister stated. He claims this shift ensures the government upholds the law and delivers justice.
