In the most disturbing episode, a homeless couple who have reported their daughter missing bears the brunt of khaki contempt. The impoverished father is asked when he last bathed or had a shave. When a suspect behind the abduction is brought in, he is happily belted by a policeman. How would the officers have treated witnesses and suspects if the camera hadn’t been in the room, if Crime Stories: India’s Detectives had been independent rather than embedded? We can only guess. The power dynamics that govern police work anywhere in India, the rampant allegations of inept investigations and custodial violence, and the various biases that colour the pursuit of criminals are left out of the picture in a series that’s more rah-rah than revelatory.
