In this 3rd installment [here are the first 9], we show that India ranks the "highest" or "very high" in these categories: 10. Road Traffic Accidents India ranks highest globally in absolute road accident deaths, with a yearly average of 450k accidents and 172k deaths. 11. Corruption India's Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) score of 38/100 (2024) ranks it 96th/180—very high. 12. Horrible/Congested Train Rides Indian Railways are extremely overcrowded with very high rail fatalities. For example, 22 trains were damaged in 2025 Maha Kumbh event, with 922 Mumbai fatalities in Jan-May 2025 alone. 13. Scams Very high, particularly tech support fraud impersonation, and loan/grant schemes TARGETING Western victims (US, Canada, UK). Homegrown networks perpetrate billions in international fraud annually. Estimated global losses from Indian-origin scams totalled $2.67B in 2024. There were 193K US complaints for Tech support Indian scams. 14. Accidents in Workplace India's occupational fatality rate is 4x the global average, with 48,000 deaths per year. 15. Medical Malpractice India exhibits "very high" rates of medical malpractice deaths and avoidable fatalities, with estimates of 5 million deaths per year from errors, which "far exceeds" global averages. Keep in mind that "underreporting is rampant". 16. Medical Fraud 

Indian medical fraud (false billing, unnecessary procedures, fake claims, counterfeit drugs, and insurance scams) is "very high" both inside India and outside in the West. Medical fraud is indeed a booming business in India due to rapid insurance growth and weak oversight: $44.6M were earned in 2022 in healthcare fraud. This is projected to grow to $292.4M by 2030. Indian-origin perpetrators feature prominently in international schemes, particularly the US, with notable convictions in 2024/2025 including 10+ Indians in multi-Million schemes.
