DELHI CRIME CAST SERIES
Written and directed by Canadian film-maker, Richie Mehta, under the aegis of production companies, Golden Karavan and Ivanhoe Pictures, Delhi Crime was picked up by Netflix for a world-wide release, after the series debuted and received considerable acclaim at the Sundance Festival. It is a retelling of the story, this time from the other side of the fence, from the point of view of the beleaguered, maligned Delhi police. The 7-episode series details the stellar efforts on the part of the Delhi police in nabbing the perpetrators within days of the crime. What escaped public eye, incredibly judgemental as it is when it comes to the police force, was the meticulousness and hard-nosed precision with which the Delhi police went after the six criminals.
We all know that the perpetrators of the gory crime were nabbed within five days of the incident. But while the other shows/documentaries have focussed more on the incident and the social issues that drove the criminals to unleash the inhuman side of their characters, Delhi Crime lays bare the behind-the-scenes operations of the Delhi Police, the police-procedural, which helped them capture the villains before they could make good their getaway. So it is with Delhi Crime, the new Netflix web series, based on that ignominious incident.

It didn’t, all those years back when the culprits were caught and sentenced to death by hanging it hasn’t today, more than six years after its occurrence it never will. The dust refuses to settle down on the reprehensible case. It was a crime that made headlines across the world, and as detail after shocking detail of the case tumbled out, it left us stunned with the horror of it all. It was the day when New Delhi, seeking to establish its dominance in world politics, gained dominance as the ‘Rape Capital of the World’ instead.ġ6 December 2012 was the day when a 23-year-old budding physiotherapist was brutalised in the most barbaric way possible, in a moving bus in Delhi, at the hands of six monsters. It was the day when India lost the right to look the world in the eye. It was the day when the human race plummeted to a new low in demonstrating the savagery it was capable of. It is an ugly scar on the psyche of every Indian – unfading, undiminishing, indelible. This day in our recent past is imprinted on the collective conscience of the country as a whole and Delhi in particular.
