“Delhi Crime” is an Indian crime Tv series that sheds light on some gruesome and horrifying true stories. The inaugural season is based on the 2012 Nirbhaya case that shook the entire Indian nation and caused chaos and riots in the streets. It captures the aftermath of the said gang rape and how Deputy Commissioner of Police Vartika Chaturvedi and the rest of her team try their best to find the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
