As Pankaj Tripathi’s compelling courtroom drama Criminal Justice inches toward its Season 4 finale, fans are deep in speculation about who really killed Roshni Saluja, played by Asha Negi. With Madhav Mishra (Tripathi) defending his client with his usual quirks and brilliance, the audience is dissecting every scene and character interaction in an attempt to solve the mystery before the final reveal.
Dr Raj: A Lover Turned Suspect?
One of the most popular theories centers on Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub’s Dr Raj. What started as a romantic subplot took a dark turn, and many believe that Raj’s involvement in Roshni’s death is more than coincidental. His medical background, potential motive, and proximity to Roshni make him a compelling suspect.
However, a Reddit user speculates that the motive might be deeper: Dr Raj may have unknowingly caused the death of someone close to Maid Kamala through prescription drugs. Kamala could have sought vengeance not through direct confrontation, but by orchestrating a murder that would ruin Raj’s life.
Maid Kamala: A Victim of the System?
This theory has been gaining traction. One Redditor wrote, “This show has always highlighted broader social issues. Kamala’s husband dying due to Dr Raj’s prescription would make her motive powerful and rooted in systemic failure. The guilt from the crime could explain her inability to bear the sight of blood afterward.”
If true, this would tie back to earlier seasons’ themes of institutional neglect and individual trauma.
The Jealous Ex or the Nurse?
Surveen Chawla’s Anju, the ex-lover, also remains on the radar. Her motives jealousy, betrayal, and unresolved emotions fit the classic thriller trope. But viewers haven’t ruled out the seemingly insignificant nurse whom Dr Raj harshly scolded in the OT. Her brief appearance and the surgical nature of the wound hint at professional precision.
A Family Affair?
Another popular theory suggests that Raj’s mother orchestrated the killing to reunite the family, while a darker twist implies that a schizophrenic daughter, provoked by her mother, committed the crime a theory supported by a disturbing piano test sequence earlier in the season.
The Twist Awaits
The show’s creators have previously pulled the rug from under viewers with sudden, unexpected climaxes. One Reddit user joked, “The killer might be someone who hasn’t even been introduced yet.” That unpredictability is part of Criminal Justice’s charm.
As the finale looms, one thing is certain: Madhav Mishra may win the case, but not without being blindsided himself true to the show’s knack for closing with twists that feel obvious only in hindsight.
