A Single Clue Changes Everything
As the fourth season of 'Criminal Justice' races towards its conclusion, the discovery of a single, mysterious medicine bottle has upended all assumptions, casting a web of doubt over every character involved in the death of Roshni. The final episode promises to unravel a complex case that has become less about a straightforward crime and more about the corrosive nature of family secrets. The central question is no longer just who committed the act, but what hidden truths—of illness, protection, and dysfunction—have been operating in the shadows all along.

A Mother's Intentions Under Scrutiny
The investigation, led by the ever-perceptive Madhav Mishra, has circled back to a seemingly innocuous moment from early in the season: Anju Nagpal giving her daughter, Ira, a glass of regular milk with her medication. This act, now viewed through a lens of suspicion, appears to be a deliberate trigger. Ira, who is lactose intolerant, has a severe reaction, mirroring another character's allergic response and conveniently disrupting Mishra's questioning. This raises a critical question: was Anju intentionally trying to make her daughter ill to prevent her from talking? Or is there a deeper, more complex motive at play? One theory posits that the medicine bottle found at the scene may not have been for the victim, but for Anju herself, suggesting she could be suffering from a serious illness like pancreatic cancer and potentially trying to manipulate the investigation to protect someone else.
The Secrets in the Sketches
Adding another layer to the mystery is Ira’s artwork. Throughout the season, her drawings have been presented as more than just childhood sketches; they are a cryptic narrative of the family's turmoil. One drawing depicts the victim, Roshni, drenched in red, while another shows the grandmother with her mouth covered, as if silenced. This visual evidence, combined with the recurring, whispered phrase between Ira and Anju—"We won’t tell anyone"—suggests a shared secret at the heart of the case. The art implies that Ira witnessed something profound and has been communicating it in the only way she knows how, turning her drawings into a silent testimony of the events that transpired.
The Hypoglycemia Theory
A compelling alternative theory centers on Ira's medical condition, hypoglycemia. Her known behavioral outbursts during blood sugar crashes present a plausible, albeit tragic, scenario. It's possible that Ira, in the midst of a hypoglycemic episode, could have lashed out and accidentally harmed Roshni during a heated argument between Roshni and Anju. In this version of events, the scalpel, seen by one witness but not another, could have been picked up impulsively by Ira. Anju’s subsequent actions, including a potential clean-up, would then be interpreted as a desperate attempt to protect her child from the consequences of an unintentional act. The medicine bottle, in this context, might not be a poison but a blood sugar regulator or a sedative, perhaps administered secretly by Roshni or Anju with unforeseen, fatal consequences.
As the finale approaches, the narrative hinges on connecting these disparate threads. The resolution will depend on what the medicine bottle truly contains and how it links to Ira's condition, Anju's actions, and the silent stories told in the drawings. The season has been held together by Pankaj Tripathi's masterful performance as Madhav Mishra, and the hope is for an ending that delivers a satisfying emotional payoff, revealing a truth rooted in guilt and a mother’s instinct to protect her child at any cost.
