Delhi Crime trailer: Shefali Shah plays the titular role of a police officer who leads the investigation of a gang rape case.The first season of Netflix series Delhi Crimes is set to revive the memories of the 2012 Delhi gang-rape case that shook the nation. The trailer of the web show, which released today, shows a fictionalised depiction of the inquiry into the crime, seen through the lens of the investigating team led by police officer Vartika Chaturvedi (Shefali Shah).
Its trailer begins with Shefali’s Vartika coming face-to-face with the crime that she calls “heinous” and “insanity” after she finds a girl on the roadside who has presumably been gang-raped. Thus begins a search for the culprits.
As Varthika opens layers of the crime through her investigation, she realises things aren’t as simple as they seem. The story also shows her strength as she tries hard to not allow her emotional and vulnerable self affect her duty.
