In a significant win for an Indian internet collection at a global platform, Netflix’s Delhi Crime has bagged the Best Drama Series award on the forty eighth International Emmys. The present is a fictionalised retelling of the 2012 Delhi gang-rape and homicide case, with Shefali Shah enjoying a deputy commissioner of police tasked with discovering the culprits and coping with the aftermath of the brutal crime.

Director Richie Mehta devoted the award to ‘all the women’ through the digital ceremony. “I dedicate this award to all the women who not just endure the violence that so many men inflict on them, but are then tasked to solve the problem. Finally, to the tireless mother, and her daughter. Not a day goes by when I don’t think about you both and what the world subjected you two to. And I hope none of us ever forget that,” he stated in his speech.

An ecstatic Shefali Shah, who performed the cop within the present, shared a clip from the award present the place she could be heard saying ‘oh my God’.
