Synopsis

Apharan (transl. Kidnapping) is a gripping Indian web series that masterfully blends crime, suspense, and dark humor. The story follows Rudra Srivastava (played by Arunoday Singh), a disgraced, middle-aged police officer who now works as a small-time private detective in the crowded lanes of Old Delhi. His life takes a chaotic turn when he accepts a seemingly simple assignment: kidnap a young woman, Meenakshi Sharma (Tia Bajpai), to prevent her wedding.

Bhairavi escapes but is later arrested by federal agents whom Tanya had secretly contacted days ago. Title: Apharan (2018) – Hindi – Season 1
