Ott web series Criminal Justice 3: Adhura Sach synopsis
The nation’s sweetheart, Zara Ahuja (14), has gained tremendous popularity recently as a child actor in a popular TV show. Her stepmom, Avantika, acts as her manager and her father, Neeraj, takes care of the business side of her work. However, Avantika’s son, 17-year-old Mukul, feels abandoned, having to live under his stepsister’s shadow, leading him to have temper/ behavioral issues and seek drugs. One night, Zara and Mukul separately sneak out to a party. Mukul notices Zara at the party in a drugged state and forces her to get home as everyone watches. However, things don’t go as planned. The following day Zara goes missing, and her body is found caught in fishermen's nets in the sea - burnt with acid and wrapped in tarpaulin.
Mukul is detained and sent to the Juvenile Justice Home, where his life in the remand home exposes him to different kids and crimes. Due to the heinousness of the crime, Mukul is publicly portrayed as the killer.
