Shefali Shah’s Delhi Crime Season 3 Is Based On THIS Horrific 2012 Case

The third season of one of Netflix’s most popular series, Delhi Crime, is set to release on November 13, and fans are buzzing with excitement. Like previous seasons, the new one is also inspired by true

events. Tanuj Chopra, the director of the show, has shed light on the real-life case that served as inspiration for the crime thriller.

In an interview with Firstpost, Tanuj Chopra said, “Here we got the case, the baby Falak case, where a fourteen-year-old girl in Delhi brings a baby to the hospital with bruises all over her. Over the course of the treatment, cops realise that the young girl is not the mother.”

What Was The Case About?

In January 2012, a two-year-old girl was brought to AIIMS by a teenage girl who claimed to be her mother. The hospital staff named the baby Falak. The baby was admitted to the hospital with multiple injuries, including a fractured skull, broken arms, human bite marks across her body, and burn marks from a hot iron on her cheeks. Despite the doctors’ efforts, Falak passed away on March 15 after suffering a heart attack. It was later revealed that her biological mother was a victim of human trafficking.
