In the same scene in the car, one of the officers describes an India “exploding” with poorly educated young men fighting over a small pool of jobs, with ideas about sex and women drawn either from patriarchal custom or pornography. “If they don’t get it, they take it, with no regard for the consequences,” he says. “After all, they have nothing to lose.” Despite the dark subject matter, the director Richie Mehta says he set out to tell a positive story. “It’s not about the illustration of evil,” the Canadian-Indian says. “It’s about the aftermath and the people who deal with it.” A still from the new Netflix series Delhi Crime Photograph: Netflix The series emerged from six years Mehta spent reading case material and interviewing the authorities involved in the investigation. Delhi’s underfunded, undertrained and endemically corrupt police force were a particular target of the protests that swelled after Singh’s murder. “[But] as they talked me through thei...

Netflix’s latest foray into the world of true-crime narratives, Delhi Crime, is an extremely hard-to-watch and provocative portrayal of one of the most infamous rape cases in recent history. The seven-part series centers around the 2012 police investigation of the brutal gang rape of a 23-year-old woman and the beating of her male friend. The case sparked play icon The triangle icon that indicates to play What happened after? Jyoti had suffered serious wounds to her abdomen, intestines, and genitals. It’s reported that she was also sodomized with the iron rod used in her beating. She underwent five surgeries and was declared stable after the fifth but was still considered in critical condition. Following public outrage, the government and Indian prime minister, Manmohan Singh, were intent on making sure Jyoti received the best treatment possible. On December 26, during a cabinet meeting, it was decided that Jyoti should be transferred from her hospital in New Delhi to Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore for further treatment. During the six-hour flight, Jyoti reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest and never regained consciousness. On December 28, Jyoti’s health continued to worsen and the doctors informed the press that she was suffering from severe brain damage, pneumonia, and infection. The next day, it was announced that Jyoti had passed away. Initially, Jyoti’s name was kept private due to sex-assault-victim privacy laws in India. She was referred to as Nirbhaya, meani...

When it debuted in the spring of 2019, Delhi Crime made me love Netflix all over again. The streamer was growing at a heady rate and the offerings were feeling scattershot—but the selection of international crime dramas remained solid as ever, and Delhi Crime’s seven-episode season was proof. I was dazzled by this gritty, well-observed procedural, which dramatized the aftermath of a notorious 2012 gang rape in New Delhi and introduced us to Deputy Commissioner Vartika Chaturvedi, a police heroine out of the Helen Mirren-as-Jane Tennison mold. Truly great international dramas can still feel like needles in the Netflix haystack—I loved Borgen’s fourth season, ditto the Swedish show Snabba Cash, which is returning for a second season soon—but now you can sink into Delhi Crime’s As with the first season, the draw here is moody, anxious realism: Creator Richie Mehta and director Tanuj Chopra depict Delhi as a packed, edgy metropolis teetering on the brink of disorder. There’s constant traffic (a theme from Season 1), dramatic divisions in wealth, and a stretched police force struggling to cope with it all. There’s also a good amount of raw violence in this show, and no lack of harsh language, but Delhi Crime doesn’t feel lurid or exploitative. Mehta and Chopra, who based this new season on writings by a former Delhi police commissioner, seem intent on even-handedly probing the strains of explosive growth, of a megacity bursting at its own seams. They also know how to tell a sto...
