At one point, one of the perpetrators, now in jail, is beyond himself with grief, because he can’t bear the thought of his mother knowing what he did to Deepika. This is a feminist true crime story that’s intimately concerned about its story, while also being willing to discuss the endemic issues that cause such incidents in the first place. Vartika, like all women living in Delhi- and truly across most of the Indian sub continent- knows well the fear and prejudice that women like Deepika contend with on a daily basis. Her rage is a good barometer for the sentiment felt by most Indians upon learning about the incident. During a quiet moment, Vartika shakes with rage, stating that what happened to Deepika was inhumane. Her resolve is rattled to her core when she learns about the wounds inflicted on the victim, who is named Deepika in this adaptation. DCP Vartika Chaturvedi spearheads the investigation, determined to prove that the police is well equipped to handle such a high profile case.
