The character of DCP Vartika Chaturvedi was inspired by IPS Chhaya Sharma , who led the high-pressure investigation into the 2012 gang rape case.

The fate of Arjun was emblematic: charged with receiving stolen property, offered a plea deal if he testified against Amar and the warehouse’s owners. Kulkarni knew where the cases led if you followed the money; often they stopped at men like Amar, who were small enough to be prosecuted and expendable. The bigger question—who organized the thefts, who set up routes to move portable goods through the city—was a harder thing to pin down.
