Delhi Crime Season 3 is all set to arrive on Netflix come November 13, 2025. The series once again brings into the fray Shefali Shah in her previous role of DCP Vartika Chaturvedi, a strong and determined police officer with an air of calmness yet power in the way she presents herself. This time, Vartika embarks on what is touted to be the toughest and most disturbing case of her career.

The story begins with a truck full of young girls-a horrifying discovery that shook the entire police team. That one event opened a much bigger story: it revealed the dangerous human trafficking network operating far beyond Delhi. As it unravels, Vartika and the investigating team find themselves caught in a web of lies, fear, and power, showing how deep-rooted such crimes are in society.

The creators have taken the story from a few real incidents, but the names and details differ. The series doesn't just come straight on, showing everything in the beginning. Rather, it takes the viewer along slowly, depicting how the investigation proceeds step by step. It also brings to light the emotional and social impacts of those crimes on people-not just the victims, but also the officers who put everything at risk while trying to solve the case.

A new powerful character is entering this season, Meena, also known as Badi Didi, played by Huma Qureshi. Her role brings a strong sense of danger and control, which will raise the stakes even higher in the battle between her and DCP Vartika.
