Rasika says upcoming season of `Delhi Crime`, besides being a taut police procedural, questions everyday instances of gender bias

Rasika Dugal is intimately familiar with the character of IPS officer Neeti Singh, having played her skilfully in the first season of Delhi Crime. But as work on the second instalment began, the actor went back to the basics to get reacquainted with her role. A big part of the prep entailed shadowing the same police officer who had helped her in the maiden season. “When I was cast as Neeti Singh in the first season, I asked them to introduce me to a police officer who had the same [rank] because I wanted to ensure that I didn’t get the protocols wrong. My character has been promoted to ACP in season two. When I called the cop this time around, she said she too has become an ACP. I went to the police station for five to six days [to study her]. It was the most fascinating experience because the variety of cases that police officers have to deal with is mind-boggling,” says Dugal.
