Shefali Shah and Rasika Dugal are set to return with a brand-new season of the International Emmy Award-winning web series Delhi Crime. However, this time, the makers have introduced an exciting new addition to the cast—Huma Qureshi, who will be seen in the antagonist role. The latest season delves into a harrowing case surrounding missing girls—those whom “nobody misses.”
The makers announced the arrival of the new season with a gripping teaser. This time, the story revolves around the search for an injured baby’s missing mother, which unravels a massive human trafficking operation in India.
