However,  the  National  Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) compiles the data on crime as reported to it by the States  and  Union  Territories  and  publishes  the  same  in  its  annual publication 'Crime in India'. The latest published report is of the year 2020. As per the published report, the State/UT-wise number of persons arrested, persons  on  bail,  persons  convicted  and  persons  acquitted  under  the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, in the year 2020 is at Annexure. The specific data regarding number of persons who were denied bail, the duration of each under-trial prisoner in jail without bail, under the UAPA is not maintained by NCRB.
