Mumbai: International Emmy Awards-winning crime-drama Delhi Crime is back with a second season. The trailer released on Monday revealed that DCP Vartika Chaturvedi and her team will be chasing the infamous Kaccha Baniyan gang.
Shefali Shah will be reprising the role of police officer respectfully addressed Madam Sir. She said the character is special to her. "I'm so proud of the role and 'Delhi Crime' as a show. It's my favourite. And so is she. As an actor, it's fulfilling to portray roles like these." The first season of the show was based on the 2012 Delhi gang rape case.
Speaking about the second season, Shah said the audience will see a human and vulnerable side of these seasoned police officers. "I can proudly say this, Delhi Crime is a reflection of our passion for storytelling and the craft and we can't wait for the audience to watch it!"
Kaccha Baniyan gangs are criminal groups known for attacking homeowners and robbing them. During the crime, they only wear underclothes and face masks.
