The Case That Inspired Delhi Crime Season 3
According to a report by India Today, the latest season of Delhi Crime is inspired by a tragic real-life incident that took place in New Delhi in January 2012. The case came to light when a teenage girl brought a severely injured two-year-old child to the AIIMS Trauma Centre. What shocked the nation were the child’s devastating injuries, including a fractured skull, broken arms, and multiple bite marks on her face and body. Despite medical efforts, the toddler unfortunately did not survive.
Directed by Tanuj Chopra, Delhi Crime Season 3 picks up some time after the events of the previous chapter. Set in a six-episode format, the story follows DCP Vartika Chaturvedi (Shefali Shah), now posted in Assam, as she begins investigating the case of an injured baby and the search for the child’s missing mother. The relentless senior cop soon reunites with her trusted team – Bhupender Singh (Rajesh Tailang), Neeti Singh (Rasika Dugal), Jairaj Singh (Anuraag Arora), and others, as they uncover a widespread human-trafficking network led by a ruthless criminal known as Badi Didi (Huma Qureshi).
