Netflix has built an impressive collection of Hindi crime thrillers where investigations lead into murder, corruption, smuggling, espionage and disturbing family secrets. From Sacred Games and Delhi Crime to newer titles like Glory and Taskaree, these stories make the search for truth as gripping as the crimes themselves.
10 Best Hindi Crime Investigation Thrillers on Netflix
1. Sacred Games – 2 Seasons
Police officer Sartaj Singh receives a terrifying warning from gangster Ganesh Gaitonde that Mumbai is heading towards disaster. Across two seasons, Sartaj’s search for answers pulls him through criminal networks, political interests, religious forces and betrayals that connect to a much larger conspiracy. The deeper he investigates, the harder it becomes to separate one crime from the threat facing the entire city.
2. Kohrra – 2 Seasons
In Punjab, murder cases become windows into damaged families, old wounds and secrets people have spent years hiding. Season 1 centres on an NRI groom killed before his wedding, while Season 2 takes the investigation to Dalerpura for a completely new case involving fresh suspects and emotional complications. The series makes every police clue feel closely tied to grief and relationships outside the crime scene.
3. Sikandar Ka Muqaddar
A major diamond robbery puts a determined police officer on the trail of suspects he becomes increasingly convinced are connected to the crime. What begins as a straightforward investigation slowly turns into a battle of intelligence, suspicion and manipulation where the truth keeps slipping out of reach. The thriller shows how chasing one theory for too long can become an obsession of its own.
4. Glory
A mysterious death forces two estranged brothers to return to the Haryana boxing world they had tried to leave behind. Their attempt to understand what happened uncovers sporting rivalries, personal ambition, painful family history and secrets buried inside the system. By making the investigation deeply personal, the series blends a crime mystery with the pressure and conflicts of competitive boxing.
5. Taskaree: The Smuggler’s Web
A Mumbai Customs officer heads a special unit trying to break an international smuggling network operating through airports and hidden routes. As the team follows shipments and suspects, it discovers corruption, betrayal and threats coming from places much closer to the system than expected. The investigation becomes increasingly risky as the officers move higher up the criminal chain.
6. Delhi Crime – 3 Seasons
DCP Vartika Chaturvedi and her team take on some of Delhi’s most disturbing crimes while working under enormous emotional and professional pressure. Across three seasons, their investigations move through a brutal assault, organised crime and human trafficking, showing both the victims’ suffering and the toll the cases take on the officers. The series makes police work feel less like puzzle-solving and more like a difficult human responsibility.
7. Khufiya
A RAW officer begins watching people inside her own agency after sensitive defence information starts reaching the enemy. Finding the mole requires surveillance and deception, but personal loss and hidden motives make the mission increasingly difficult to control. Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj and starring Tabu, the film turns an intelligence investigation into a tense story about loyalty and betrayal.
8. Jaane Jaan
Maya’s quiet life in Kalimpong changes when she becomes connected to a murder that attracts the attention of a sharp police investigator. Her intelligent neighbour quietly helps her hide what happened, creating a battle of wits as the officer keeps getting closer to the truth. Based on Keigo Higashino’s novel, the mystery builds tension through clever deduction, guilt and carefully protected secrets.
9. Khakee: The Bihar Chapter
An honest IPS officer begins chasing a feared criminal across Bihar, expecting the law to be enough to bring him down. Instead, the investigation runs into political protection, corruption and local power structures that repeatedly strengthen the criminal network. Inspired by real events, the series turns the manhunt into a much larger conflict between policing and influence.
10. House of Secrets: The Burari Deaths
The deaths of 11 members of one Delhi family leave investigators trying to understand what could have led to such a disturbing event. Using police findings, diaries, family history and interviews, the documentary examines whether the deaths were murder, suicide or the result of something far more complicated. Every new detail makes the case more unsettling rather than easier to explain.
From fictional murder cases to real-life mysteries, these Netflix investigative thrillers prove that the most gripping crime stories are often the ones where finding the truth changes everything.
