About this episode
This is the story of one baby, left broken and battered at a Delhi hospital, who went on to change India. To know more about this case, watch Delhi Crime Season 3, now on Netflix! Some stories don’t begin with a murder. They begin with a mystery — a baby found broken, bruised, and fighting for her life in one of the country’s best hospitals… and no one knowing who she belongs to. A mystery that seems like it will be simple enough to solve. Or so the city believed — until investigators uncovered a truth far more disturbing than neglect. Because this baby wasn’t discarded by a cruel mother. She was stolen from one. And that mother? She wasn’t hiding. She was trapped. Sold. Trafficked. When Delhi Police finally found her, miles away in Rajasthan, what emerged was not just the story of a mother and her missing children — but the story of an entire trafficking machine humming beneath our feet. A machine involving pimps, fake relatives, forged marriages, disappearing children, and a web of criminals stretching from Bihar to Delhi to Rajasthan. And at the center of it all… a baby without a name. This is the story of baby Falak.
