Streets settle, houses dim, and the world eases into its familiar rhythm. But every so often, a night begins just like that… and ends in a way no one could ever imagine. In the town of Luton, one such night unfolded. Nothing seemed out of place. Nothing warned of the shock that was about to ripple through an entire community. But behind a closed front door, in the span of a few irreversible moments, everything changed. A life was ended. And the questions that would follow would hold the nation in disbelief.

This is the story of one baby, left broken and battered at a Delhi hospital, who went on to change India. To know more about this case, watch Delhi Crime Season 3, now on Netflix! Some stories don’t begin with a murder. They begin with a mystery — a baby found broken, bruised, and fighting for her life in one of the country’s best hospitals… and no one knowing who she belongs to. A mystery that seems like it will be simple enough to solve. Or so the city believed — until investigators uncovered a truth far more disturbing than neglect. Because this baby wasn’t discarded by a cruel mother. She was stolen from one. And that mother? She wasn’t hiding. She was trapped. Sold. Trafficked. When Delhi Police finally found her, miles away in Rajasthan, what emerged was not just the story of a mother and her missing children — but the story of an entire trafficking machine humming beneath our feet. A machine involving pimps, fake relatives, forged marriages, disappearing children, and a web of criminals stretching from Bihar to Delhi to Rajasthan. And at the center of it all… a baby without a name. This is the story of baby Falak.
