Based on the 2012 Nirbhaya case, Delhi Crime was widely appreciated as much for its powerful storytelling as for the mature performances by the principal cast led by Shefali Shah. Rasika Dugal, who portrayed the role of IPS probationer Neeti Singh, admits that the bar has been set high for the second season. According to reports, the next edition will see her character climb up the ranks to become an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP).

To do justice to her part in the police procedural, the actor reveals that she not only visited the police stations in Chandigarh but also spent a few days with one of the ACPs in the city.
