10 Best Hindi Police Dramas on Netflix (Movies and Shows)

Kohrra follows murder investigations in Punjab where the crimes are only the starting point. Across two seasons, the show moves from an NRI groom’s death before his wedding to a new case that uncovers more family secrets, buried trauma and emotional conflict. This slow-burn crime drama works because it mixes mystery with the pain and pressure carried by the people solving it.
2. Kartavya
Police officer Pawan is left carrying enormous guilt after a journalist he was supposed to protect is murdered. Refusing to let the case end there, he begins following a trail that leads towards corruption, influential people and pressure from within the system. When the danger reaches his own family, the investigation becomes much more than another professional duty.
3. Black Warrant
A young jailer enters Tihar Jail and quickly discovers that maintaining order inside one of India’s most notorious prisons is far more complicated than he imagined.

5. Delhi Crime (3 Seasons)
