History

Sikkim, in general, has a low crime rate. In March 2007, there was a fratricidal incident involving Sikkim Police detachment protecting a bank in Delhi. A young person was accused of murdering five of his colleagues in retaliation for a sodomy attempt. However, the details are still unclear.^{[citation needed]}
