Dahaad is about Sub-inspector Anjali Bhaati (Sonakshi Sinha), who investigates the mysterious deaths of women in Mandawa, Rajasthan, aiming to uncover a serial killer hiding in plain sight, Anand Swarnakar (Vijay Varma). The cast also includes Gulshan Devaiah and Sohum Shah as fellow officers.
A common thread emerges among the victims: they are all young women from poor families, lower caste women who were helpless and unable to marry due to dowry. The core of the story is the investigation and the cat-and-mouse chase between the determined police and the serial killer.
The series highlights the widespread caste divide in society, especially in rural Rajasthan, which enables the killer's actions and influences the protagonist. Dahaad explores how patriarchal structures and mindsets contribute to systemic discrimination and violence against women.
