Set in 19th century Delhi, our story takes place at time when technology and science are still in their infancy and modern tools of investigation haven’t yet been invented. While ostensibly Bahadur Shah Zafar II reigns, the British might and influence increases each day, and with it, a spate of crimes.
As crime multiplies, the police grapples to keep up with the mounting unsolved cases. Under these circumstances, when the Kotwal finds himself in the midst of a felonious mystery, he seeks the help of the only man who can come to his aid – Mirza Jaan Nawaz.
Though eccentric in his methods of investigation, Mirza proves himself time and again, unravelling a new mystery with every case. Without the aid of technology, Mirza relies on the most potent tool of all – his brain! With an equal measure of intelligence and looks, Mirza Jaan Nawaz knows how to maneuver every situation.
This week on Dariba Diaries, a famous courtesan is found dead in her kotha after a performance. Before Mirza can collect the clues with the first murder, a second courtesan is slayed and found dead. While Mirza is gathering clues from both murder scenes, will there be another murder? How will Mirza solve these cases? Watch Dariba Diaries tonight at 9 pm, only on The EPIC channel.
